Valentine'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 Valentine's Day words
heart love card friend kind hug pink red rose candy sweet note smile share flower care happy gift valentine february
The list is hearts, cards and kind words: the things a class shares on the day. There are 20 words and 97 letters to find. The longest word is "valentine", at 9 letters. No word on the list uses J, Q, X and Z.
The words by length
| Length | How many | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 3 letters | 2 | hug red |
| 4 letters | 8 | love card kind pink rose note care gift |
| 5 letters | 6 | heart candy sweet smile share happy |
| 6 letters | 2 | friend flower |
| 8 letters | 1 | february |
| 9 letters | 1 | valentine |
A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: love, card, kind, hug, pink, red, rose, note, care and gift. 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. Valentine, february and friend 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 card, candy and care.
- 3 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for friend, flower and february.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: sweet and happy.
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.
For a class party, print one for each child: no two sheets will be the same. A found word can go straight into a card: pick three from the list and write a line with them.
