How to Play This Valentine’s Day Word Search Game
What is a word search? It is a game in which players attempt to find all of the words hidden in a square grid of letters. It is commonly referred to as word find or seek as well. The goal is to locate all the hidden words in the grid. The words included in the puzzle are located at the bottom of the sheet. This printable puzzle places words left-to-right, top-down, or the two diagonals from left to right. The remainder of the puzzle is filled with any letters of the alphabet. No words are overlapping. Once you find one of the words, simply circle or highlight them until you find them all. If you can’t find a particular word, you can refer to the answer key provided. To make the puzzle even more challenging, try timing yourself to see how quickly you can find all the words. Or, make it a group activity and see who can find the most words in a certain amount of time.
