Thanksgiving Food Word Search

Everything on the Thanksgiving table is hiding in the grid, from the turkey to the last slice of pie. Hand out copies to the kids waiting for dinner and see who finds the stuffing first.

How to play Thanksgiving Food Word Search

• Every word in the list is hidden in the letter grid in a straight line.
• Drag across a word with your finger or mouse to select it. The selection snaps to the nearest straight line: across, down or diagonal.
• Prefer tapping? Tap the first letter, then tap the last letter to select everything in between.
• Found words stay highlighted on the grid and are crossed off the list. Find them all to finish the puzzle.
• Easy (10×10) hides words left-to-right and top-to-bottom only. Medium (12×12) adds diagonals. Hard (14×14) uses all eight directions, including backwards. Expert (18×18) and Extreme (22×22) pack in more words on a bigger grid for a real challenge.

Controls

• Drag across letters, or tap the first and last letter of a word.
• Hint flashes the first letter of a word you have not found yet.
• New puzzle builds a fresh grid; your current puzzle is saved automatically.
• Print turns the current grid into a clean printable word search sheet with the word list.

Tips

• LEFTOVERS is the longest word; finding it first is the best reason to feel smug.
• PUMPKIN, PECAN and APPLE are all pies, but words are placed at random, so do not expect them to sit next to each other.
