About this word search
The days of the week in English are mostly named after old gods and heavenly bodies. Sunday and Monday come from the sun and the moon, Saturday from Saturn, and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from the Germanic gods Tiw, Woden, Thor and Frigg.
Wednesday is the classic spelling trap, with its silent D, and finding it in a grid helps fix the letters in memory. September, November and December are long, all three ending in ember.
Every word here except Week takes a capital letter in normal writing, which is worth pointing out in a spelling lesson. Across, down and diagonal are the directions used, and nothing is reversed.
