Four Thanksgiving word lists, a fresh grid every game, and a large-print button
A Thanksgiving word search for the whole table: four word lists (The feast, History, Autumn and Family day), a new 12×12 grid every game and a Large print button for bigger letters. Play on a phone while the turkey rests, or put it on a tablet for the kids.
Choose a Thanksgiving word list.
Find each word in the grid: across, down, diagonally, forwards or backwards.
Press on the first letter and drag to the last one.
Find all ten words to finish and beat your best time.
Tap Large print to make the letters bigger.
Visual scanning and letter-pattern recognition. The History list (Mayflower, Plymouth, Wampanoag, Squanto) pairs well with our Thanksgiving Trivia quiz, which explains who each one was.
Start with the long words: CORNUCOPIA, WAMPANOAG and CASSEROLE have few places to fit.
Hunt for double letters, such as the LL in ROLLS and the EE in GREEN: they jump out of a grid.
Scan rows first, then columns, then diagonals.
Cross each word off as you find it so you never look for it twice.
