About this word search

Split Enz formed in Auckland in 1972 with Tim Finn, and his younger brother Neil joined later. Neil Finn went on to form Crowded House. Dave Dobbyn's Slice of Heaven, recorded with Herbs for the Footrot Flats film, became an unofficial anthem, Poi E by the Pātea Māori Club went to number one in 1984, and Lorde's Royals topped the charts in the United States in 2013.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Fat Freddy's Drop fills a row with fourteen letters once the apostrophe is dropped. Slice of Heaven has thirteen and Crowded House twelve. Gig has only three letters and Poi E four. The Z appears only in Split Enz. Double letters help: DD in Fat Freddy's Drop, LL in Hollie Smith, NN in Neil Finn and Tim Finn, BB in Dave Dobbyn.

Make it a playlist game. Every time someone finds an artist or a song, play one track, and see how far you get before the sheet is done.
