About this word search
Older New Zealand houses are often weatherboard, with a hot water cupboard that doubles as the place to air the washing. A rumpus room is the spare room for games and noise, a sleepout is a small separate room out the back, and spouting is the Kiwi word for gutters. Newer homes add double glazing, and many families run a dehumidifier through the damp winter.
This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words can run in all eight directions, including backwards. Hot water cupboard is the longest with sixteen letters. Double glazing has thirteen, weatherboard and dehumidifier twelve. Deck and roof are only four. Room hides in bedroom, bathroom and rumpus room, so look at the whole word. The Z in double glazing and the X in letterbox appear only once.
Give the sheet to anyone house hunting or renovating. Each word found is a question to ask at the next open home.
