What is a Word Search?

A word search hides a list of words in a grid of letters. Words can run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Your job is to find and circle each one.

How to solve it

Scan rows and columns for the first letter of each word, then trace in all eight directions. Check off words as you find them.

Who is this for?

Word searches are perfect for all ages — from young students building vocabulary to adults who enjoy a relaxing mental exercise. Teachers use them for vocabulary preview activities, early finishers, and classroom brain breaks.

Frequently asked questions

What are the eight parts of speech with examples?›
The eight parts of speech are noun (dog), pronoun (she), verb (jump), adjective (blue), adverb (quickly), preposition (under), conjunction (and) and interjection (wow). Articles such as a, an and the are often taught as a ninth group or as determiners, and some books count them as adjectives.
What grade is this word search for?›
It is the medium level, written for grades 2 to 6. The long words, such as interjection and conjunction, run in every direction, so younger students may like a partner.
Is there a bigger grammar puzzle pack?›
Yes. The Parts of Speech Puzzle Pack ($2.99) adds a crossword, a cryptogram, a word scramble, a word fill-in and a bigger word search, all with thirty new words, so nothing repeats this free page. It covers words like determiner, clause, phrase and possessive.
Can words go diagonally or backward?›
Yes. Words in this puzzle run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and they may go forward or backward. Always scan in all eight directions from a candidate starting letter.
