About this word search

Downspout and Mail slot are American terms for parts of a house that go by other names in Britain. Outlet is the wall socket, and Mantel is the shelf above a fireplace.

Any of the eight directions is fair game. Linen closet and Light switch are long and written as one. Look for the K in Skylight and Bookcase, then for the double O in Floorboards.

Older students can split the list between indoors and outdoors. Garage and Sunroom are the ones people tend to disagree on.
