A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: hero, cape, mask, save, fly, kind, team, city, suit and zoom. None has more than 4 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. Costume, protect and rescue take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 5 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for save, strong, suit, secret and speed.
- 3 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for cape, costume and city.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: boots, speed and zoom.
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.
Pull it out on a cape and mask day at school or as a quiet break between backyard rescues. Choose three found words as your own powers, then draw your costume and emblem beside the grid.
