About Word Search on Suvi
This page deals a fresh 12×12 word search every day from a list of almost forty Thanksgiving words: the feast (turkey, stuffing, cranberry, casserole), the season (acorn, gourd, leaves) and the gathering (family, guests, thankful). A good one to pass around the table while the oven does its work.
How to play
- Find every word in the list. Words run in straight lines: across, down, diagonally, and sometimes backwards.
- Swipe from the first letter to the last (or click and drag on a computer). The line snaps to the nearest direction.
- Found words stay highlighted and get crossed off the list. Find them all to finish and log your time.
- Stuck? Hint lights up the first letter of a word you haven't found.
Controls
On a phone or tablet: Put your finger on the first letter and swipe to the last. Lift to check. Tap Hint if you need a nudge.
On a desktop: Click the first letter and drag to the last. Release to check.
Tips
- Scan for unusual letters first: a Q, a Z, a J or an X narrows a word down fast.
- Look for the first two letters together, then follow the line.
- Backwards words hide best in rows you read left to right. Read the grid in reverse now and then.
- The list is alphabetical, not in grid order: the last word on the list might be the first you spot.
