This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
Penguin brought out its first paperbacks in 1935 and sold them for sixpence each, cheap enough to pick up for a train journey. Blurb is younger than it looks: the American humorist Gelett Burgess invented it in 1907 for the praise printed on a book jacket.
Bookworm, Bookshop and Bookmark all begin with the same four letters, which makes them easy to mix up in the grid. Page and Plot are the shortest. Words go forwards only, never back.
For a book club this makes a good warm-up before the discussion. Once everyone has finished, ask which Character from a recent read has stayed with them longest.
Ways to use this word search
With your coffee
Print a sheet for a quiet moment at the kitchen table or in your armchair. Start with the regular version and save the hard one for when you really have time for it.
On the go
Slip a few printed sheets into your bag for the train, a waiting room or a weekend away. A pen is all you need, no screen required.
Puzzle together
Bring the sheet to your book club, a night in with friends or a visit to your parents and see who finds every word first. Or play online and find out who is fastest.
Try it in Spanish too
The same theme also exists in Spanish, French, German, and Italian, each with its own word list in that language. Handy if you are learning a language: you already know the topic, now just the words.
