About this word search
A printed puzzle can do a few jobs at a birthday party: a calm start while the last guests arrive, a quiet table while the cake is cut, or a page slipped into the invitation as a teaser. The twenty words here follow the order of the day, from Invitation and Guests to Candles, Wish and Hooray.
Entries lie flat, stand upright or slope corner to corner, and none of them reads right to left. Invitation, Lemonade and Surprise are the longest, so they are a sensible place for confident readers to begin. Hat, Wish and Blow are short enough to be missed altogether.
Afterwards, ask each guest to pick one word from the list and use it in a birthday wish for the host.
