Thanksgiving Word Search Hard

Longer seasonal words and an eighteen by eighteen grid give experienced solvers a Thanksgiving challenge with room to explore. Entries may run in any of eight directions, including backwards and diagonally upward, so a familiar first letter is only the beginning of the search. This page suits a quiet afternoon, an adult activity group, or confident older students who have finished an easier assignment. Scan for distinctive letter pairs before tracing the full word. If you get stuck, take a short break and return to a different corner rather than immediately revealing every answer.

18 × 18 grid · hard · 23 words

Drag from the first letter to the last to mark a word. With a keyboard, use arrow keys to move and Enter or Space to select each endpoint. Press Escape to cancel.
