Thanks for sending me more Word Search links. I am back!
More Greek Artifacts:
This time we are searching for artifacts coming from excavations, dig sites, stolen/sold artifacts, or those found in museums. From gold coins to a statuette of a horse.
The Puzzle:
There are 17 wors/phrases to uncover: Tetradrachm, a large silver coin used in ancient Greece, nominally valued at four drachmaeords, according to AI generated information. The photo of the coin is quite interesting, too.
Also, Stamnos--an ancient Greek vase shape used for storing and mixing wine. I think I'd like that!
Parting Thoughts:
I moved along with a stealth swiftness uncovering the words. There were a couple of course that were all Greek to me. But, taking the first couple letters and the ending letter made it easier to uncover spelling of words not familiar to my eyes with their spelling.
Conclusion:
Another interesting subject matter for a WS puzzle. I enjoyed it!
I found this Word Search puzzle on the Browse By Type tab.
Jumping Right In:
This puzzle is based on The Star Lantern by Katrena Adams. It's about a young boy, Abel, who loses his father. He feels lost and lonely and overwhelmed. But a quiet spark of magic changes everything. Guided by a mysterious star lantern and has a loyal fox guide, as he ventures into an enchanted wilderness to find his courage and deal with his mourning and emotions.
I looked that up because I have not read the book. My children are grown, so I don't peruse the shelves of the Children's books. However, this subject matter caught my curiosity. I think it is a good book for a child going through grief over the loss of a loved one.
Furthermore:
The puzzle consists of 25 words about hope, encouragement, bravery, and comfort based on the book. Seeing those words uncovering, I could picture a child hurting over such a loss. But, there is a message of hope in the completion.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
This is excellent subject matter for a children's book. It made for and interesting Word Search that compels the reader to find out more about the book.
I'm back for a visit with the farm dogs! Barking Right In:
Thank you for the great introduction about your farm dogs. One, King, is the only dog who's not a rescue on your farm. You have adopted others that needed a loving home following their service to others. The photos are lovely to look at.
Furthermore:
This Word Search has 25 canine-themed words. There are names and phrases and stuff that dogs need to enjoy a happy life filled with caring and love.
There are dogs for hunting, herding, guarding and protections. They do indeed have their professions down to a science on the farm. It's a place that really needs having them around.
Parting Thoughts:
It was fun finding all the words on the list. I had a vision of the dogs as I uncovered them, King, Maverick and Indiana --however I don't think I saw Bonnie. Perhaps an oversight on my part.
Thank you for another great visit to your farm. It is always a lovely time to peek around at a working farm with so many interesting animals doing their thing.
I liked the little introduction above the puzzle describing Zeus a bit and his "devotion" to having many offspring with as many goddesses, nymphs or other partners of his love interests.
This puzzle's subject matter is about the children of the Greek god Zeus. That includes those legitimate--and not so legitimate.
Furthermore:
The puzzle consists of 20 names of Greek Godlets--offspring of o the powerful Zeus! Apollo, Aphrodite, Hercules, and Perseus, to name a few.
I found this Word Search to be a fun find of the various gods. Most of them I caught quickly. A couple got twisted up or otherwise entangled within diagonal ones I had already uncovered. I got them eventually, though!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
I loved the subject matter of the Greek gods and goddesses. It was entertaining. Indeed, Zeus was a very busy god!
I was tagged on the Newsfeed when you posted this Word Search puzzle. I love doing doing these, so I was very happy to be tagged.
Jumping Right In:
Coffee Mania is the subject matter for this WS puzzle. What could be a more invigorating thing to highlight? It's all about coffee, and the many different mixtures that use it.
I love your introduction above the Puzzle. THis part really stuck out for me: "your ahh moment first thing in the morning" Indeed, that's exactly how I feel when I take that first sip of the morning.
Your list below that is filled with coffees and their ingredients. It's a fine list from black coffee to Irish to Vienna, and so many options in between.
Furthermore:
This puzzle consists of 24 names to uncover on the tile. They are ripped from that above list, and, it is a great suggestion to have coffee in hand while finding them.
I found the puzzle mostly straightforward with horizontal and vertical. But the way this puzzle landed when I got it, was that it had only one diagonal. I found that unusual. However, it made it a bit easier to do even without coffee. But coffee makes everything better.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
I must say that I had a relaxing, coffee in hand time solving this puzzle. What could be better than that?
My motive of course, is my love for playing Word Search puzzles! Thank you for tagging me to your newly created Word Search.
Mystery:
This puzzle is about a mysteries and the detective work involved in solving them. I saw one of my favorite old-time detectives, Columbo staring at me when I opened this page. Great gif to use above the puzzle. And, who knows better how to solve a puzzle revolving around a homicide crime?
Red Herrings:
This puzzle has 19 words to uncover on the tile. You'd think it would be quite easy to solve it since it has fewer than 25 words --the max for the list on these Word Searches--but it wasn't! Talk about red herrings?!! There were many spots for the letter "V" which is usually an easy find on the tile. This tile had bunches of "V's" stopping me at several attempts from uncovering motive or villain...
Breakthrough:
I did finally find those missing v-words. However, I'm a little hesitant to admit that the last word I found, that kept me searching for a long time is... "Detective!"
Now this is one of the patterns I love and look forward to in Word Searches--a word within a word! I had found "Private Detective" right off the bat. It had been sitting there while I was uncovering the other words, and sweating of those "V" words. A big huge "Duh!!! Detective of course was sitting there in "Private Detective. I guess even witches aren't perfect.
One More Thing:
Great job!
Thank you for creating such a fun WS puzzle. It gave me a bit of a chase. I had a great time.
I love that you introduced us to your nine cats on the farm. They all have interesting names. Plus, they have very important jobs to do -- hunting for mice, which would be a full time job on farm.
Three of the nine felines live inside the house because they all have health issues. One is a "Tripawd" named Trooper. Great name!
I went to visit the photo album to see the cats. I couldn't find Munchkin, the only daughter of Miss Kitty. She is a Torti. Then I went to look up why all the males are Orange Tabbies and the female is a Torti. The orange gene comes from the X chromosome, and orange dad's Y. I think I have that straight. Well, it happens that males are almost always orange, and females rarely orange due to that X given by dad. Then I remembered that my aunt had a female orange tabby. She told us it was rare in a female. Now I know why that's true.
The Puzzle:
This Word Search consists of 25 words/names, and things needed to be done for and by cats on a farm. Cats are indeed fierce hunters. I perceive wild cats that I've seen in my yard as little lions. I've watched their creeping about the shrubbery searching for the random chipmunk or slow bird.
However, I digress! The uncovering of these feline things was a fun project. Naturally, I had to shrink the page to catch the whole spelling of "Litter Box Cleaning!" Also, the word within a word is here with "Kitt" and "Kittens." I do enjoy those. Here Kitty, Kitty:
Calling all the cats to their Kibble. Sharing with them the fun I had visiting with them, Miss Kitty and all the siblings doing barn work. The brave yet disabled cats in the house--the rest of their buddies hanging out in the meadow, and the wonderful humans that keep up with it all! Always fun at the farm!
Thank you for responding to my Newsfeed request for a Word Search puzzle.
Initial Thoughts:
This is a different puzzle that describes loneliness through different words. Even the image above the tile expresses emptiness. Great image to place with this theme.
Furthermore:
There are 14 words to uncover related to the above subject matter: alone, loneliness, isolation and other words describing being alone.
I felt the melancholy of it as I uncovered each word. Many have experienced this at least once in their lives.
Parting Thoughts:
There was not a maximum amount of words on the list--but then, how many more lonely words would be left to add to the tile? I believe the ones chosen describe the emotions handily. Plus, you do not need a full-puzzle to get stumped over a word or two. "Sole" is the shortest word on the list and needed a keen eye to find and uncover it.
I found this inspiring Word Search on the Browse By Type, page. I was looking for something uplifting and relaxing on this Independence Day, #250! I saw your Brief description and knew this would be the one for me, today.
Furthermore:
This puzzle has 25 words to uncover that involve positive thinking, nature and even adventure. There are inspiring words like Freedom and victory and harmony, too. Nature offers a rainbow a butterfly and river and mountain. It also offers the forest where one might begin an adventure.
I moved along the puzzle through the sunshine and the wonder of starlight. There are so many things that bring its beauty to mind that I didn't worry about how long it was taking me to capture those hidden words. The way my puzzle fell onto the board, made for some good hiding places. Sometimes those diagonals can cross a few other word making them hide easier. First I went after the "v" and "W" words. Those letters stick out more.
Parting Thoughts:
This was an enjoyable puzzle to solve because it filled my mind with so many beautiful things nature has to offer. Perhaps it was those little relaxing breaks to soak up the visuals that made the solving time much slower than usual. But then I really wasn't in a hurry after all.
Conclusion:
Thank you for tagging me to this Patriotic Word Search celebrating America's 250 the birthday!
From Sea:
I love your poem above the puzzle. It's wonderful to read about one's joy in celebrating this very special birthday. I tire of all the negativity going on, and the Country-bashing. I am certainly thrilled about the 250th and will enjoy it thoroughly!
To:
This Word Search contains 20 words/phrases which do stretch the tile. And yes, I had to shrink the field down to get all the letters in the uncovering process.
The list has the fireworks, the freedom the Star Spangled Banner! Also, parades and picnics. Everything that goes along with The Fourth of July!
Shining:
I did well catching the longer words first. But then I was really stuck on "red." Of course I should have tried to get that one done first. It took much patience to not walk away from the puzzle for a while, then come back with a fresh pair of eyes. Just as I was about to do that, my eyes found it crossing through a couple words already uncovered. Yay!!!
Sea:
This is one of your best. You've got it all--poem, trinket (thank you!) and the great Word Search of the 250th birthday of the USA !
Kudos!
Until next time-- Puzzle On! ...And, Happy Independence Day!
Yessss! Thank you so much, FD, for creating another Mardi Gras Word Search puzzle and tagging me. I love my little visits to New Orleans. Plus, today, it's nearly as hot as it gets there. 100 degrees for a high today. However, even with the humidity--not nearly as oppressive as the humidity there. Believe me, I remember that well when taking a trip there while traveling to Houston. Which, as hot and humid as Houston gets--that day spent in New Orleans beat it, hands down!
The Puzzle:
This amazing WS puzzle has 23 words or phrases to uncover on the tile. There are interesting names to find, such as: Pontchartrain. I so remember the bridge over that lake! The world's longest continuous bridge over water. Spanning nearly 24 miles, the twin bridges connect the New Orleans suburbs of Metairie and Mandeville, taking about 30 minutes to cross. Seriously the first time I crossed over it, I thought it would never end.
I moved along uncovering the words at a pretty good clip--almost. The, I had to shrink the page down a lot to fit the vertical placement of: The Spartan Society. It's all in the placement. If it was horizontal, no shrinking would be necessary like "Mystic Femme Fatale," even though it has one extra letter than the other one. It's the ups and downs you know.
Parting Thoughts:
I miss the 'Krewe of ____' words. There certainly was a bunch of them in the first Word Search. I was able to spot those quickly. However, I did have to do a lot of tile shrinkage to get them uncovered.
I'm reviewing this blog as a judge at The Bard's Hall. Thank you for joining us in the Annual Blog/Journal Contest June 2026 at "The Bard's Hall Contest"
Your Book Entries:
After a little glitchy start where I wasn't tagged or Steph wasn't, you managed to bounce back and really share your day to day life. The entries mostly consisted of food and recipes you enjoy eating and cooking. Some ready made foods available were not as special diet friendly as you wished , though, making meals a difficult chore. You have help at times where the helper would cook up something. Those didn't always work out for you.
Your Travels:
I loved how you would travel through watching videos of some exotic places. You'd try to make some of the dishes that are local to that particular country. That makes the "travel" more fun to experience. I think that was a marvelous idea for someone who is limited physically.
Parting Thoughts:
We were asked questions about how we deal with heat and what we suggest for dinner planning when the heat is oppressive. It invited us to interact with you. I loved your Ad Break baking entry. How clever to make a chocolate tea bread in steps during those long, boring commercials!
Conclusion:
I enjoyed visiting with you in June. I hope to see you in June 2027 for more blogging!
I'm so happy that you enjoy creating Word Search puzzles. I enjoy doing them!
"Tales of the Wanderers."
This WS has 25 words or phrases to uncover on the tile. It is based on the book you are creating "Tales of the Wanderers (first draft)" . You have some very interesting character names. I love Beauregard . It's a big name for such a small pup.
Plus, there's nature themes, summer fun with some squirrel friendships by the campfire. I took a look at the first book entry.
Furthermore:
The puzzle field in well-stretched. Phrases tend to do that. And, you put in a few tiny words to search for amid all those longer ones: kit, bow & pup. Although I have to say I did find "kit" quicker than I would have expected, even before many of the longer ones were uncovered.
Parting Thoughts:
I always enjoy when I run across your WS puzzles. You know me...I'll be back!
I knew one of your Word Search puzzles about the World Cup, FIFA 2026 would would be kicking my butt all over the field! You stretch the tile to the max. I have to shrink the field to fit all the letters of the names in. Yes, good finger-stretching exercise!
Furthermore:
This subject matter is about FIFA-tournaments past and present. You give an excellent introduction and even a bit about your dad's enthusiasm watching the games with you. It does appear he got quite animated over the whole thing from start to finish!
I think it's lovely that you keep his picture next to you when watching the games now that he has passed away. I imagine you get a little animated too!
This puzzle has 25 names to uncover that include countries, player names, and even beer! That of course is a given.
Parting Thoughts:
As I stated above--you gave me a run for my money. Shrink the puzzle to fit in the longer names. enlarge it while looking for the so easy to remain hidden short word--"beer."
Yes, it was quite an exercise to get my brain in gear! But then, I do love your puzzles fo fun and exercise!
Conclusion, The Real Kicker:
This was fabulous fun with your Soccer WS puzzle...and a bit of Major Tom in the mix!
It's me, again. I'm baaahhhk! I so enjoyed my last trips to the farm I just had to return. And, no--no mucking boots, yet!
This is a Word Search about farm life. It contains 25 words to uncover on the tile. There's everything from the insects, to barnyard animals and even a cat and a dog sound--woof, meow! I love that addition: Furthermore:
The longer words got knocked down, fist! However, I was pretty much hog-tied trying to find hogs, and ramming my head against the wall searching for ram. But I did find those two short words eventually.
Parting Thoughts:
I enjoyed visiting your farmhouse, the pasture and the barnyard. There was a friendly ram there, too! You are becoming quite the WS puzzle, creator. I have missed this one but have been doing a couple out of order. This id the second Word Search you've created. Now I've got this one under my belt.
Conclusion:
I'll be back again for another visit to a farm. It is becoming a farm away from home to me.
Oh, gosh you made me laugh with this. I love your introduction of how much poor Scotland "stank" over the years in FIFA. The games have certainly brought on lots of excitement in the USA. And, Boston promises not to run out of beer, again.
Furthermore:
This Word Search contains 20 opposition countries and the venues where the shambles unfolded.
I moved along quickly finding longer names. The first one I found was long and had a "Z" in it. "Z's" tend to pop out more. Followed by Switzerland a shorter one, ut with a "z."
As for "Peru" and "Iran." those shorter names hid will for a while.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
This is another fun WS puzzle with a bit of Scottish humor woven in. I had a good time!
Thank you for creating this Word Search puzzle--and tagging me! First Thoughts:
I love the spiritual theme of this puzzle. Your poem above it is beautiful and well-written. Plus, a trinket thrown in at that! Thank you so much.
The poem describes how our Heavenly Father quietly awaits our arrival. The Word search is based on the poem, and describes His never ending love for us, and how we should prepare to greet Him. There are 25 words or phrases to uncover on the tile.
Furthermore:
I always love these WS puzzles you create. You have such interesting subject matter. You stretch the tile to the limit with the longer phrases some 15 letters long. You make it fun to tackle! And then you stick the word "softly" as a shorter, stand alone word on the list. Oh, that one hid well!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
This was another great puzzle that is faith based, as well as the poem and the beautiful trinket. Your cover image has the same image as is on the trinket. I love the dove of peace with the olive branch in its beak. So lovely!
I found this one on the Browse By Type, menu. I so enjoy playing your Word Search puzzles! I love the farm theme, and your introduction, and your photo album. You are really have a knack for creating these WS puzzles.
Thanks for the Trinket. I love Oakley, the ram--so cool!
Furthermore:
There are 25 words/phrases having to do with summer on the farm, in Georgia. Besides the hard work keeping the goats happy, there are the relaxing moments with the fire pit and Smores, and catching glimpses of fireflies. What a beautiful evening that is.
Parting Thoughts:
I so enjoyed uncovering all the words. I could picture the farm, and the goats. However, I held my nose and averted my eyes over the mucking, -- but on the whole it was a pleasant visit!
I found this Word Search on the Browse By Type menu.
Summertime:
And the livin' is easy! Yes, I saw this Summer Paradise title and wanted to jump right into summer. Here in New England, it's been rainy and rainy and rainier. Yesterday was the Summer Solstice. The first day of summer arrived here. But not beach weather, that's for sure.
Your introduction lets us know that this puzzle is all about summer fun!
The Word Search:
There are 25 fun-filled words that describe things we do in the summer. Beach, barbecue, sandcastles and swimming, just to name a few. Of course we must have the essentials; flipflops, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Parting Thoughts:
It was a relaxing puzzle to solve as was the the subject matter. I moved along uncovering the words fairly quickly by I disposing of the all the words starting with "sun" first. Eventually I got the rest of the story!
Conclusion:
You have a great introduction above the puzzle. Loved this:"From the soft glow of burning embers to the deep shades of indigo and violet at dusk," It sounds so beautiful.
Furthermore:
This puzzle has 25 words to uncover related to being near the warmth and coziness of fireside. I enjoyed finding each word--some that were easy to spot. Others hid well for a while. I managed to pull them out of hiding and solved the puzzle!
Parting Thoughts:
I enjoyed the subject matter because I could picture the flames and hear the crackling fire.
I found this Word Search puzzle on the Browse By Type, tab.
Wandering Right In:
I see this is your very first created Word Search puzzle! The title looked interesting so I sort of wandered in.
You have an interesting list of words to uncover--25 of them. They are very much related to nature and wildlife and what can be spotted, (and spot you) when exploring.
Furthermore:
It does take some courage to wander into a forest. Although, when I do I have my bear spray and something stronger should the need arise.
One of my favorites on the list is the Red Tailed Hawk. It's my favorite hawk to watch in flight.
A Mountain lion was tracked all the way from the Dakotas into Mass. They are beautiful but dangerous--especially to joggers, as we learned when we were living in CA. We have panthers in FL... I've yet to see one when I'm there half the year.
Parting Thoughts:
I enjoyed wandering through list and uncovering all the words. I moved along at a pretty good clip. But, what was really fun was having the images of the animals in my mind. And, yes, trouble could happen when out there exploring nature. But, it's always an adventure!
Conclusion:
Great job for your first attempt at a WS puzzle. You engaged your reader with your subject matter. I'll be back for more!
All things Mardi Gras! is what this Word Search Puzzle is all about. I love the description you put above the tile explaining the different parts of putting together the celebrations that make the whole thing so festive. Furthermore:
There are so many "Krewes"to uncover in the puzzle. The amount of letters in several krewes made me have to shrink the tile to find all the letters. That's great because it made for a huge tile-field.
Krewes were mostly the first ones I tackled. But then, I had to search for masks since it is the smallest word in the list and stayed hidden for the longest time.
Parting Thoughts:
I learned a bit of the history about Mardi Gras, where it begins and how it ends at midnight on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. Bullhorns blaring and the local big trash machine ride and rider cleanup time clearing the mess left behind. They even make the cleanup sound like fun!
Conclusion:
Kudos: for another fabulous WS puzzle about New Orleans!
I loved walking through your beautiful garden especially through your verses above the tile. I could almost smell the fragrance of magnolias. They were in bloom when I left Florida. I love their scent too!
"Flowers remind us in color and smell,
That simple little things can soothe us well." Indeed they do!
The Puzzle:
This Word Search puzzle contains 25 names of flowers and things having to do with gardens. It was delightful finding each lovely bloom.
I moved along at a good clip uncovering the words on the list. I enjoyed visualizing the flowers as I found them.
Parting Thoughts:
I found this WS puzzle by going to Browse By Type. I wasn't too hopeful of finding one I hadn't played, yet. But, when I came across this--I was thrilled. It's been out for weeks.
Conclusion:
I love the beautiful AI composition as your cover art. That, the poem and the puzzle fit together nicely. You did a wonderful job pulling the player into your puzzle. It was indeed like taking a trip through a luscious garden!
I found this word search using Browse By Type over on the left menu.
Jumping Right In:
This word search is about confidence boosting words that help a lady become sassy! And probably witches, too.
I love your poem as an introduction to the puzzle. It's a strong presentation to bring out the sass in the not so confident lady.
Furthermore:
You do some of that magic, here with your phrases that stretch the tile to the limit. One particular one that had me squeeze the page down more so I could get all of shaded-in: "Brushingoffthedust."
Parting Thoughts:
I worked for this solve. But not to the point of having to let it go for awhile and wash clothes, instead, and coming back to it later in the day.
This is another great theme related puzzle that boosts the spirit as it exercises the brain
I just got caught up with all the things I had to finish before I could start settling in with one of my favorite things to do--A Word Search Puzzle! Thank you for tagging me with this link.
Your poetry is a good addition. It gives us hints about A day in the life.
The Word Search:
This puzzle has 25, mostly long words/phrases which stretches the tile to the max!
Oh, yes! You do like to make sure your players really get a good run of it for the ultimate brain exercise. This of course involves the stretching and shrinking use function so the word can be spotted at an easy to spot larger tile. And then, once the start of a phrase is spotted comfortably, you must shrink the tiles back down so you are able to highlight the entire phrase from one diagonal end to the other.
Examples:DoIevencareanymore. that's a great one because it's a questions asked often. Along with: Whattchagonnado!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
I enjoyed searching out those phrases. I had to smile and nod at some of them.
Love your unique WS puzzles and the subject matter you come up with.
