Printable word searches
Six themed word searches to print and solve with a pencil: a 10×10 grid and nine words each, running across, down and diagonally. The answers are in their own file, with every word ringed.
- 6 puzzles: 6 Medium 10×10
- A4 and US Letter
- Answers in their own file
- Ids WS-M1 to WS-M6
What’s in the pack
Medium: 10×10 grid, 15 cm across, 15 mm squares and 21 pt letters. Every word is hidden exactly once, which we check along every row, column and diagonal in both directions before a sheet is printed, and the filler letters never spell a rude word.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| WS-M1 | Flowers | 10×10 | 9 | across, down and diagonally, forwards |
| WS-M2 | Trees | 10×10 | 9 | across, down and diagonally, forwards |
| WS-M3 | Desert | 10×10 | 9 | across, down and diagonally, forwards |

How to play and print
How to play
Find each word from the list in the grid and draw a ring around it, then tick it off. Letters can be shared where two words cross.
How the words run
Words run forwards: across, down and diagonally, never backwards. That is a steady middle ground: for bigger grids with backwards words try the adult sheets, for small ones the kids sheets.
Printing
Choose the PDF for your paper and print at 100% (“Actual size”), portrait. The sheets are black on white and print well in greyscale. The answer key is a separate file, so the puzzles can go out without it.
Using the sheets
Free to print for personal, classroom and library use. Please don’t sell or republish the sheets. No sign-up, no email: the links above are the files. Each sheet carries its id, so a class can check answers by id. The words come from our word lists, credited on the credits page.
