A large print word search book built around everyday things many of us remember fondly: kitchens, gardens, small-town main streets, radio days, Sunday dinners and summer porches. 100 themed puzzles, one per page, each with a short memory prompt at the bottom to think about or share with someone. Large bold letters, a large word list, and complete solutions at the back. Paperback, 8.5 x 11 in, 120 pages.
Every word in the list is hidden somewhere in the grid of letters. Find each one and circle it. Words are always in a straight line, with the letters side by side and none skipped.
In this book the first 30 puzzles hide words across (left to right) and down (top to bottom). The next 40 add diagonals. The last 30 add a few words written backward. The sample below is from the first group, so it uses across and down only.
