Puzzle guide
About medium christmas word search puzzles
What they are
Medium Christmas word searches add slanting words to the festive mix. REINDEER might gallop down towards the bottom right and ORNAMENT might climb towards the top right, while every word still reads forwards and none of them overlap.
How to play
Once you spot a starting letter, check four ways: across, down and the two forward diagonals. Tracing a slant with the tip of a candy cane is a fun way to keep your place.
Tips
SNOWFLAKE and FIREPLACE have distinctive letter runs that are easy to follow on a slant. DECEMBER begins with an unusual DEC combination, so scan for a D followed by an E and a C in any forward direction.
Who they suit
These suit eight- to twelve-year-olds, homemade Advent activity calendars, and families who want a slightly tougher festive puzzle than across-and-down.
Printing
Print two medium Christmas puzzles per sheet and staple a few together for a festive activity booklet, with the answer keys tucked in at the back.
