Fall word search: questions

Are these fall word searches free to print?

Yes. All three puzzles and their answer keys are free for home and classrooms. No signup.

How do I print one puzzle?

Press "Print this puzzle". Only that puzzle prints, with its answer key on a second page. To save a PDF, choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog.

Which one is right for my kids?

The easy puzzle uses short autumn words placed across and down only, good for ages 5–8. The medium one adds diagonals. The hard one hides 18 longer fall and Thanksgiving words in all 8 directions, including backwards.

Is there a Thanksgiving word search?

The hard puzzle mixes fall and Thanksgiving words (Thanksgiving, cornucopia, pilgrim, gratitude). To make one with only Thanksgiving words, use "Make your own" and type your list.

Is every word really in the puzzle?

Yes. Each grid is checked after it is built so that every listed word appears exactly once. No missing words and no double answers.

Can I make my own fall word search?

Yes. Use "Make your own" to open the word search maker with these fall words already filled in, then add your own (spelling words, class names) and print.

Make any word search from your own list with the free word search maker, or try the Halloween word search puzzles.
