About this word search
In Scotland the last night of the year is Hogmanay, and First footing is one of its customs. The first visitor across the threshold after midnight is meant to bring luck, traditionally with a gift such as coal, shortbread or salt.
A Catherine wheel is named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who according to legend was sentenced to death on a spiked wheel. Fireworks, Fountain and Firecracker fill out the noisier part of the list, while Diary, Reflection and Memories cover the quieter side of the night.
The grid is eighteen squares across with words in every direction. Start with Catherine wheel and Sparkling juice, which are long. Then go after the K in Karaoke and the double B in Nibbles.
