About this word search
A Kiwi summer runs from December to February and means jandals, togs and a chilly bin packed for the beach. Pōhutukawa flower red along the coast, cicadas fill the afternoons with noise and a hokey pokey ice cream, vanilla with crunchy bits of honeycomb toffee, melts faster than you can eat it. Many families spend at least a week at the bach.
Boogie board is the longest entry, with eleven letters. Pōhutukawa, Hokey pokey and Watermelon have ten. Togs and Bach are the shortest, with four. Words run across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards. The J in Jandals is the only one, and the K hides in five words, from Sunblock to Pōhutukawa.
Take a copy to the beach or the bach for the hottest hour of the day. Whoever finds Sandflies first is excused from the next round of sunblock duty.
