Clever Word Search Puzzles for Kids

Word search puzzles don’t get much better than this.”—Will Shortz, Puzzlemaster for National Public Radio

Mark Danna—whose earlier Word Search Puzzles for Kids was a huge success—has come up with even more smart search challenges to delight brainy youngsters. What makes them so special? First, the letters in every grid form a picture, so instead of ho-hum squares, children get lively shapes. Then, the puzzles feature a few additional twists. Three of the searches don’t have word lists, for example; the puzzler has to create them from a series of clues. And finally, each puzzle has a hidden message: once kids have circled all the correct phrases, the uncircled letters will spell out a silly quote, fun fact, or punch line to a “punny” riddle.
