About this word search
Families come in every shape, and this list keeps that open. Alongside Mother and Father it has Neighbour, Friend and Together, which leaves room for children whose household looks different from the picture-book version.
Entries may cut across at an angle or sit level or upright, and every one of them reads the usual way round. Grandchild is the longest. The two grandparent words differ only at the sixth letter, P or M, so follow each to its final letter before deciding which you have.
Mother's Day falls in May here and Father's Day on the first Sunday of September, and either one is a good excuse for a homemade card carrying three words from the puzzle, or a family tree with a word on each branch.
