What words are in the printable word search?
The first puzzle uses garden and nature words: GARDEN, FLOWER, RIVER, FOREST, BIRD, APPLE, SUNSHINE, MEADOW, BREEZE, ACORN, LEAF and RAIN. The second uses kitchen words, and the third uses books and reading. Longer downloads repeat those lists with different placements.
For a theme with names and places, use the Bible word search. The Christmas word search includes decorations, the Nativity and winter words in separate puzzles.
Other topic sets are available as animal word searches, food word searches and winter word searches. Each has three lists and its own marked answers.
For words you rearrange rather than find in a grid, use the word scramble with hints and answers. Word searches with native word lists are available in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese; each page explains its accent rules.
Does the word search PDF include answers?
Yes. Every listed word appears once in the grid, and the answer outlines the cells containing its letters. Across and down mode uses only words running right or downward. The 8-direction choice also uses diagonals and backward words.
Download the PDF while the preview shows the puzzle you want. The large print Sudoku also places answers after its puzzles; both are in large print games.
How do I print the puzzle pages without answers?
Choose Download PDF and open the file. Print the first pages for players and keep the final answer pages with the organizer. Each puzzle has one puzzle page and one answer page. Print at 100% or Actual size to keep the letter size shown in the preview.
