About this word search
Father's Day in New Zealand is on the first Sunday of September, right at the start of spring. Bacon and eggs, a new pair of socks and an hour in the shed are the classics, and Koro and Pāpā, te reo Māori for grandfather and dad, get their turn too.
Bacon and eggs is the longest entry, with twelve letters once the spaces go. Fishing rod has ten. Dad is the shortest, with three. Pāpā becomes PAPA without its macrons. The J in Jokes is the only one on the board, and the Y appears only in Backyard and Sunday. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards.
Fold the finished sheet into a card for Dad and add one joke at the bottom. Leave one word unmarked so he has something to find himself.
