Puzzle guide
About hard easter word search puzzles
What they are
Hard Easter word searches hide spring words in all eight directions, backwards included, and let them cross. MEADOW might read upward and FEATHERS might run right to left, sharing a square with NEST or HATCH along the way. Grids rotate between 10×10, 15×15 and 20×20, so even the hardest Easter puzzles can be quick or long, depending on the size you choose.
How to play
Look all the way round each starting letter for the second letter of the word. Reversed words count, so PASTEL may appear as LETSAP reading left.
Tips
Search for the last letters of long words like CELEBRATE to catch reversed placements. The double S in CROSS and the double R in CARROT stand out in any direction, forwards or back.
Who they suit
Hard Easter puzzles suit teenagers and adults, and they make a peaceful challenge for Easter Sunday afternoon.
Printing
Print hard Easter grids one per page with generous margins so you have room to jot found words. The answer page is separate.
