The 20 words

Classic playthings fill the list, including ball, kite, marbles, puzzle, puppet, pinwheel and wagon. There are 20 words and 114 letters to find. The longest words are "pinwheel" and "tricycle", at 8 letters. No word on the list uses F, J, Q, V and X.

| Length | How many | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 4 letters | 5 | ball doll kite drum bike |
| 5 letters | 5 | teddy robot train truck wagon |

A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: ball, doll, kite, teddy, robot, train, truck, drum, wagon and bike. 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. Pinwheel, tricycle and marbles take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for ball, blocks, bubbles and bike.
- 4 words start with T. When you find a T, check it for teddy, train, truck and tricycle.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: ball, doll, puzzle, teddy, pinwheel, puppet, bubbles, scooter and spinner.
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 fits a playdate, a toy swap or the quiet hour after a birthday party. Put a star next to each toy you have at home and count your stars at the end.
