Puzzle guide
About medium thanksgiving word search puzzles
What they are
Medium Thanksgiving word searches add diagonal words to across and down. PILGRIM might slope towards the bottom right and MAYFLOWER might sail towards the top right, while words always read forwards and stay apart. The bigger 20×20 grids include history words such as PLYMOUTH and WAMPANOAG alongside the food.
How to play
Check the row, the column and both forward diagonals from each starting letter. Every square belongs to one word at most, so once a letter is used it is out of play.
Tips
STUFFING has a double F that is easy to spot on a slant. GRATEFUL and THANKFUL both end in FUL, so a quick search for that ending finds two words at once.
Who they suit
These suit eight- to twelve-year-olds, social-studies lessons on the first Thanksgiving, and families waiting for the pies to cool.
Printing
Print two medium Thanksgiving puzzles per page as a homework sheet for the holiday week. Answers print separately.
