About this word search
A Squirrel buries far more nuts than it ever digs up again, and some of those forgotten acorns grow into the next Oak. A Woodpecker, meanwhile, has a tongue so long that it wraps around the back of its skull when not in use.
Words on this fourteen-row board can slant, but none of them is spelled backwards. Badger and Ranger end the same way, so any ER you spot is worth a second look. The doubled letters in Moss and Woodpecker help confirm those two.
On a hike through a state park, see how many of the twenty you can point to for real. Moss, Fern and a Stump are almost guaranteed. A Badger is much harder to spot, since it mostly comes out at night.
