Fall Word Search

Autumn words: falling leaves, acorns, cider, flannel, the orchard and the hayride. Each puzzle takes a different set from the list below, so you can play several without repeats.

All 41 fall words

Each game picks 12 of these (16 on hard):

ACORN · APPLE · AUTUMN · BARN · BONFIRE · BOOTS · BREEZE · CHESTNUT · CHILLY · CIDER · CINNAMON · COZY · CRANBERRY · CRISP · FLANNEL · FOLIAGE · GEESE · GOLDEN · GOURD · HARVEST · HAYRIDE · LEAVES · MAPLE · MUSHROOM · NOVEMBER · OAK · OCTOBER · ORANGE · ORCHARD · PECAN · PIE · PINECONE · PUMPKIN · RAIN · RAKE · SCARECROW · SCARF · SEPTEMBER · SQUIRREL · SWEATER · WHEAT

How to play

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

Does every word appear only once?
