Short Christmas words (star, sled, bell, elf, gift), only across and down, on a small grid. Good for early readers; the printed version is a little bigger.

All 30 christmas words

Each game picks 8 of these (16 on hard):

ANGEL · BELL · BOW · CAKE · CANDY · CARD · COLD · COOKIE · DEER · ELF · FUN · GIFT · GREEN · HAT · HUG · ICE · JOY · MERRY · MITTEN · PLAY · RED · SANTA · SCARF · SLED · SNOW · SOCK · STAR · TOYS · TREE · WISH

How to play

  1. Every word in the list is hidden in the grid, in a straight line.
  2. Drag across a word from its first letter to its last. On a phone you can also tap the first letter, then the last.
  3. Found words stay highlighted and are crossed off the list. Find them all to finish.
  4. Easy puzzles only run left to right and top to bottom. Medium adds diagonals. Hard runs in all eight directions, backwards too.

Questions

How easy is it?

The words are three to six letters long and only run left to right or top to bottom, on a 10×10 grid.

Can I print it?

Does every word appear only once?

Yes. After the letters are filled in, every word is checked in all eight directions; a board where a word shows up twice is thrown away.
