About this word search
Europe has several tiny states that even keen travellers struggle to place. Vatican City is the smallest country in the world, and Monaco comes next, with San Marino and Andorra also tiny by any measure.
Names can point any of eight ways in this grid, including back to front. North Macedonia, San Marino and Vatican City appear without spaces. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia sit side by side on the map, and their names blur together in a crowded grid, so check every letter.
As a follow-up, students can match each country to its capital, beginning with the easy ones where city and country share a name, such as Luxembourg and San Marino.
