Puzzles for grown-ups
A word search is not just for children. These themes are about things adults actually care about, from the first coffee of the morning to the painters in the gallery, and the words are chosen to match. The standard version is a relaxed puzzle to go with a cuppa, while the hard version, with words in all eight directions, asks for a little more patience.
Print a sheet for yourself, for your book club or for a parent who loves a puzzle, with the answer key on the second page. Prefer a screen? Every puzzle can also be played online, no account needed.
