Puzzle guide
About medium nature word search puzzles
What they are
Medium nature word searches add diagonals to across and down. VOLCANO might slope towards the bottom right and GLACIER might climb towards the top right, while each word reads forwards and stays separate. The 20×20 grids include dramatic landforms such as CANYON, CLIFF and GLACIER, which suit lessons on how the Earth's surface is shaped. Shorter grids focus on everyday sights like ponds, streams and flowers. Every word still reads forwards, which keeps the challenge fair for confident readers.
How to play
Try across, down and both forward slants from each first letter. Once a nature word is circled, its letters are finished with.
Tips
VOLCANO and CANYON both contain CAN, so check carefully before circling. MEADOW and MOSS both start with M; find the longer one first.
Who they suit
These suit eight- to twelve-year-olds, scout and guide groups, and science lessons on landforms.
Printing
Print two medium nature puzzles per page for a camping activity pack. Answers print separately.
