About this word search
Dungeon comes from the French donjon, which first meant the great central tower of a castle, its strongest and safest part. Only later did the word come to mean a prison cell below ground.
Every word on this fourteen-row grid reads forward, though some cut across on a diagonal. Armor uses the American spelling, without a U. Knight begins with a K nobody pronounces, so warn kids before they go looking for an N.
The United States has no medieval castles, but a Renaissance faire comes close, with jousting, banners and plenty of armor. Before or after a visit, the list gives kids the right names for what they see.
