Words to find

Drag across a word, or tap its first and last letter. Tap a word in the list for a hint.

Every puzzle on this site is printable. Open a puzzle, pick Easy, Medium or Hard, and press Print. You get a clean black-and-white sheet with the grid, the word list with tick boxes, and a line for a name and date. Nothing else from the web page ends up on the paper.

To download a word search as a PDF, choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser’s print dialog. To print several different puzzles on one topic, press New puzzle between prints: each one hides a different mix of words in a new grid.

Teachers and group leaders can print the answer key on a second page. The key shows the same grid with the hidden words shaded, so checking a stack of worksheets takes seconds.
