Printable Booklet 7

word search big squares

If you are tired of the same old same old, give these irregular word search puzzles a try. The setup is the same as regular word search puzzles. You are given a list of words and these words are hidden in a grid of letters. But instead of the words being found in straight lines, these words are hidden in crazy shapes.

➤ Word Search Big Squares

Instructions: All words in the following puzzles are found in the shape of a square. Since each word is a 9-letter word, its solution will be 3×3 in size.

The first letter of a word always begins in a corner or in the center:

If a word begins in a corner, it proceeds vertically (up-down-up or down-up-down) or horizontally (right-left-right or left-right-left) to end up in the opposite corner, or else spirals inward to the center in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

If a word begins in the center, it spirals outward to a corner in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

The path of a word never crosses itself and never moves in a diagonal direction.

Letters may be used for more than one word. The solutions are formatted as the example above, with the first letter of each word highlighted.

The booklet is printer-friendly. 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.
