About this word search
Winter in New Zealand runs from June to August. A southerly can bring snow to the hills and frost to the windscreen, the ski fields open on the mountains and Saturday mornings are for rugby and netball. Inside there is porridge for breakfast, soup for lunch and a hot water bottle for bed.
Hot water bottle is the longest entry, with fourteen letters, a whole row of the fourteen by fourteen grid. Puffer jacket has twelve. Snow, Soup, Hail, June and July have four letters each, so they hide easily. Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards. The J appears only in June, July and Puffer jacket.
Keep a stack of sheets by the log burner for wet days. Each word found earns a marshmallow for the hot chocolate.
