Dog Names 14
Word Search Puzzle 14
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! If you keep an animal as a pet, you know the necessity of giving it a name. Nothing screams laziness like calling your cat "cat" and dog "dog" — yes, people actually do this!
We thought it would be fun to put together a list of pet names — the good, the bad, and the silly — and make word search puzzles out of them. We made lists for cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, horses, along with birds, snakes, and other reptiles. A total of 1,800 names, or enough for 90 puzzles. As the title suggests, the puzzle on this page uses words from our list of dog names.
This word search puzzle is themed. It hides 20 names people commonly give their dogs in the English-speaking world. Our personal favorite is BUDDY. But note that only 18 of these 20 names are actually listed. So you're on your own to find the 2 unlisted names. A full solution is provided if you get stuck.
By the way, we designed this puzzle to be easily read. Both the puzzle grid and word list are in large 17-point font size. And the puzzle grid, which is 22×20 letters, spans the entire width of the page. This way you won't have to squint.
The puzzle is printer-friendly — like all our free, downloadable puzzles. As long as your computer can open PDF files and your printer is loaded with standard 8.5" × 11" paper, you are all set to start solving.
Note: click the [direct link] below the embedded PDF file if you have trouble printing. The file should then directly download and open on your device. You can print it from there.
