How to play
Each word in the list is hidden once in the grid, in a straight line. Press on the first letter and drag to the last one; a match stays highlighted and the word is crossed off. On a phone or tablet you can tap the first letter, then the last.
The easy puzzle runs words across and down only. The medium puzzles add diagonals, and the hard puzzle hides words in all eight directions, including backwards. Two-word answers such as Teddy bear are hidden without the space.
Printing for a class or a card
Print prints one puzzle on a page with large letters, and Print with answers adds an answer key on page two. The friendship puzzle avoids romantic words, so it suits a class Valentine’s party where every child gets one. Choose “Save as PDF” as the printer to keep a copy.
For something personal, put names, places and in-jokes into the word search maker and send the share link, or print it inside a card.
