About this word search
A Moat and a Drawbridge worked as a pair. With the bridge raised, anyone attacking the Castle faced a wide ditch, often filled with water, and a solid wall where the entrance had been. Knight starts with a silent K and Sword hides a silent W, two spelling quirks worth showing children before they begin.
Every word in the castle grid reads forwards, along a row, down a column or on a diagonal. Tournament and Drawbridge are the longest. Look for the Q in Squire and Queen, a rare letter that makes both easy to spot.
After the puzzle, children could design their own coat of arms for a Shield or a Banner.
