St. Patrick's Day words are hidden in the letters: 20 of them, or ten short ones for a first try. Tap the first letter of a word, then its last letter.
The 20 St. Patrick's Day words

The list is green from end to end: shamrocks, rainbows and a pot of gold. There are 20 words and 106 letters to find. The longest word is "leprechaun", at 10 letters. No word on the list uses F, Q, X and Z.

A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: green, gold, lucky, pot, coin, march, hat, harp, wish and jig. None has more than 5 letters. On a phone the full puzzle takes twelve of the 20, so the letters stay big enough to tap.
Hints for this puzzle
- Start with the longest words. Leprechaun, shamrock and rainbow take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for clover, coin and charm.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: green.
Play it or print it
On the screen, tap the first letter of a word and then its last letter, and the word is crossed off the list. Easy hides words across and down, Medium adds corner to corner, and Hard adds backwards. Press Print for two pages, the puzzle and its answer key, and "New puzzle" for the same words in new places. The word search maker page explains how each grid is made and kept clean.
It suits the morning of the day, with a green pencil. Count the words that are green things when you are done: shamrock, clover, emerald and green itself.
