About this word search
GPS is the shortest entry here, just three letters, and in a large grid it is often the hardest to find. Jet lag and Customs are short as well. Departure gate and Ferry terminal are long and stretch across much of the board.
Begin with the long ones, since they are easier to spot and narrow down the rest. Then hunt for the rarer letters, the J in Jet lag, the Y in Itinerary, the X in Excursion. Words go in every direction, including backwards, so check each candidate in all eight lines.
A Phrasebook is handy on a trip to Quebec, and this puzzle is handy at the departure gate while you wait for boarding. It can also be a good warm-up for a geography lesson about travel.
