About this word search
Kiwi houses come with their own words. The lounge is the living room, the ranch slider is the sliding glass door onto the deck, and the heat pump has replaced the open fire in many homes. Most houses have a carport or garage and a letterbox at the gate with the house number on it.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words go across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Ranch slider is the longest at eleven letters, then letterbox and fireplace at nine. Deck and roof have only four letters. Bunk beds and heat pump run together without a space. The X in letterbox and the Y in hallway and laundry are good starting points.
Walk around your house with the sheet and tick off each word you can find for real. A word your house does not have can be drawn in the margin.
