Ted & Friends
Word Search Repeats
Page 5 of 17
This is the fifth page of a massive collection of what we call word search repeats. Word search repeats — or repeating-letter word search puzzles — are a type of themed word search where all the words contain a similar sequence of letters.
For instance, a puzzle might be titled "Ted's Words" and words like EXCITEDLY, DATED, POSTED and TEDDY might appear in the search term list. But note how each of these words contain the same sequence of letters. In this case these letters are TED, which is why the puzzle is called Ted's Words.
We thought it would be fun to think of people's names and then see if we could find common English words that 'hide' those names in their spelling. We then hid those words in traditional word search grids.
Incidently, that's what makes word search repeats so special. They doubly-hide words. First you hide a word in another word, then you take that second word and hide it in a grid of letters. Basically, you end up with sort of a two-for-one word search puzzle. In our opinion, that doubles the fun.
But we didn't stop there. We did the same for personal pronouns and other words which reference people. All told, we came up with 77 different themes using names, pronouns, and other people-referencing words. These were then grouped together and hidden in over 15,000 search terms — or enough to make 777 unique word search puzzles! You'll find links to these puzzles across these 17 index pages.

Note that each of the puzzles hides 20 search terms. But there's a twist. Only 18 of these 20 search terms are actually listed. So you're on your own to find the 2 unlisted ones. A full solution is provided if you get stuck.
By the way, we designed these puzzles to be easily read. Both the puzzle grids and word lists are in large 17-point font size. And the puzzle grids, which are 22×20 letters, spans the entire width of the page. This way you won't have to squint.
The puzzles are printer-friendly. As long as your device can open PDF files and your printer is loaded with standard 8.5" × 11" paper, you are all set to start solving. Good luck!
