These printable word searches will be sure to challenge even the most advanced puzzler. You’ll find three different levels of hard word searches below, each growing in difficulty based on the number of words you need to find.
There are the hard word searches with 30-39 hidden words, the very hard word searches with 40-49 words you’ll need to find, and the extremely hard word searches with 50 or more hidden words. I suggest starting with the first section and then moving on to the other puzzles after you feel confident that you can tackle them.
If these puzzles aren’t challenging enough for you, you can also consider making your own hard word search. Trade with a friend and see who can complete theirs the quickest.
Many other free word searches are available for just about every holiday and season as well as daily word searches, online puzzles, and word searches just for kids. Both adults and kids will love the challenge and fun these puzzles bring.

Using games and puzzles in your class is always a hit with the students. Whether you use
them as an introduction for a new chapter, as a practice break in the middle of a section,
or to end a class, puzzles are a useful and fun way to add some interactivity to your class.
One type of puzzle that is easy to apply in about any class is a Word Search Puzzle.
Let’s have a look at some examples. Afterward, you will see how to make your own word search puzzle games and the additional feature that Bookwidgets provides.
- Language Word Search Puzzles
- Science Word Search Puzzles
- History Word Search Puzzle
- Word Search Puzzles for Kids
- Breaking the Ice With Word Search Puzzles
💡 Good to know: all the ready-to-use word search activities are created with BookWidgets. You can easily duplicate an activity for free, edit it if needed, and share it with your students. You can do so in the examples separately, or you can find all the word search examples in the BookWidgets Blog group folder.
Language Word Search Puzzles
Languages are all about words, so it’s pretty obvious that a word search puzzle is a perfect
fit here.
Let’s start with an easy one for teaching foreign vocabulary. We put English words in a
column as clues, and let the student find the Spanish translation :
There are different ways to change the difficulty of a word search puzzle.
- Instead of just having horizontal and vertical words, also place words diagonally
or even in a reverse direction. - Leave out the clues
- Make the word search bigger
For example, the following English word search puzzle contains words in all directions,
and doesn’t have any clues (except that you have to look for objects from the kitchen):
A word search also allows you to practice new learning topics. Have you just taught the days and months to your students? Take some time to practice it with a days and months words search puzzle.
Perhaps the holidays are approaching? Or are you going skiing with your school? A fun ‘lesson starter’ could be a word search where your students need to find the different ski equipment that is covered.
Science Word Search Puzzles
Most science subjects come with a lot of terminology to learn. Word search
puzzles are perfect for the job of introducing scientific words in an
interactive way.
Let’s take Biology, for examples: not only do you have a long list of plants,
animals, and other organisms to learn, but each of these consists of lots of
other parts with hard-to-remember names. For every level of terminology, we can
make nice word search puzzles:
How about geography? Names of continents, countries, cities,
rivers, mountains, … All great candidates to put in a word list,
and get your students enthusiastic during class:
In elementary school, you might work around the theme ‘water’ during the world orientation lessons. Wouldn’t it be fun to include small assignments between lessons like the example below?
History Word Search Puzzle
During history classes, you might bring up the subject ‘Greek mythology’. Below there is an example of a fun lesson starter where your students should look for the main characteristics of a Greek hero. FYI: It is a real challenge!
There’s nothing the youngest like doing more than learning by playing.
Word search puzzles can be a great way to teach young kids to read.
An easy way to start off is by letting them search for simple words
(such as the ones from the
Dolch word list),
from a list:
They can match the letters from the description list with the letters
from the center to get to know the letters and words.
You can make things a little bit harder by removing the words from the
list, and replace them by emoji, giving them the chance to learn the
letters by heart:
Word search puzzles can also help with their first steps in math:
learning the numbers and how to write them:
Breaking the Ice With Word Search Puzzles
If you’ve been reading our blog, you know that we’re fans of
using games as ice breakers in the classroom.
Word search puzzles can also be used as a fun way to get to know each other’s names at the start of
the school year.
You can, for example, use descriptions of the student as clues, and let them find first names in the word
search; or, you can list the first names in a list, and leave the last names to be
searched in the word search:
Are you looking for something more (inter)active? You can use this one! The idea is that students need to look for names of other students in the class. If they find one, they need to get up and start a conversation. So, it is the perfect way of getting to know each other.
Creating your own Word Search Puzzles
I could go on and on about ways to use word search puzzles in the class, but I’m
guessing I don’t have to: by now, you’re probably thinking of some fun
word search puzzles you can use in your class.
So, how to make your own word search puzzles? Well, BookWidgets has you covered with the word search puzzle maker. You can quickly and easily create your own puzzles. All you have to do is enter some words (and optionally, their
descriptions), and BookWidgets takes care of fitting the words together into a nice-looking interactive word search puzzle. You can instantly send to your students’ iPads,
Chromebooks, or PCs.
Don’t have devices in your classroom, or do you like to play it old-school?
Then you can just print BookWidgets’ word search puzzle straight from your browser.
Ready to give it a shot? Just hit the button below, sign up, and start creating
word search puzzles (and many other widget types with a free
BookWidgets trial.
Monitoring live in Word Search Puzzles
With Bookwidgets, you have the opportunity to follow-up the progress of your students live when they are completing the digital word search activity. This, of course, has several advantages. For starters, you can see how far along the students are in their word search. In addition, it is also possible to detect where certain difficulties are. Did you know you could also use it in a playful way? Turn the word search in a contest, and show the results on the board indicating how many words they have already found. The challenge is up to them to solve the word search the fastest. This is how you will see it:
The live widgets function also gives you some handy statistics so you can closely follow up on your students. In this example, student 1 has a harder time finding words. You can notice this from how much time has passed between the last activity and now. In addition, student 1 also found far fewer words compared to student 2.
Wrap up
You now have many different examples of digital word search activities, the explanation of how to create one, and an explanation of the live monitoring feature. So, why are you still reading?😉 It’s time to get started yourself!
Join our Facebook Group to share your own creations with other teachers and let us know on Twitter what you think of the live monitoring.

School Word Search Puzzles
Why do school word search puzzles bring so much fun?
Doing a school word search puzzle is a type of activity that is recognized by many as bringing so much joy and fun. This is because there is an attraction in the form of a challenge to solve what has been started in the word search puzzle game. Moreover, doing a word search puzzle while at school can provide a moment of pleasure after receiving a lesson which is quite brain-draining.
What a school word search puzzle contains?
In school word search puzzles, when it is done by children who feel they are in school, it will recall memories of activities that have been done and also objects found around the school. This will be the material or word that must be looked for in a school word search puzzle. Because it is familiar, it is not that difficult for children to do. Not only children, even adults who have passed the school level can also do this because it can leave a nostalgic impression. Each of these elements will be connected and everyone will experience the same experience when faced with the school word search puzzle content.
How many words in a school word search puzzle?
The number of words in the puzzle to be completed is uncertain. This will always change due to the size of the sheet used to put the school word search puzzle and also the desire of the creator who made the word search puzzle. In some puzzles, a list of words to look for in scrambled letters is provided. On some others, you will not find a clue how many words are in the school word search puzzle. It doesn’t really matter how many words are there if you enjoy the process of searching for them.

Is school word search a puzzle kind of learning tool?
Although it can be played at school and contains content that is familiar with kinds of school things, it is very rare to find school word search puzzles used as the main learning tools. This puzzle is more appropriate to be used as ice-breaking after learning. However, for several levels of education such as preschool and kindergarten, the method of using a word search puzzle is quite balanced with other learning methods. The factor behind that is because of the age of preschoolers and kindergarteners, who are very young kids who still really like games.

If you enjoy doing word searches, you probably want to improve on your skills and speed as time goes by. When I first started doing word searches, I remember struggling to find the words amongst the grid of letters. But as the years passed by, my ability to notice patterns improved exponentially, and before I knew it, I was whizzing through word searches with impressive fervor.
Of course, it was not just my pattern recognition skills that spurred on a speedy completion. I had gathered many tricks and strategies along the way that certainly helped.
Back then, I didn’t know that solving a word search puzzle was something that required any kind of strategy! The reality though, is that it does! As a kid, I was not even aware that I was learning different tips and strategies every time I solved a word search puzzle. And as an adult, I have been only too happy to pass them on. If you would like to learn about each of my top tips, tricks, and strategies, read on.
These are 17 Word Search tips, tricks, and strategies:
1. Check the theme and keep it in mind.
Most word searches will have a theme attached. By reading the theme and thinking about it while solving the puzzles, you can expect words that pertain to that theme to stand out to you. It is kind of like getting your mind onto the right thought process/path.
2. Multi-search (search for more than one word at a time).
When you tackle a word search, you might think that a methodical approach is best where you search for one word in the list at a time. This has merit and can work, but it is even easier if you set to memorize a few of the words and then search for them at the same time. Pick 3 words, call them to memory and then hunt the grid for them.
3. Cross words off the list as you discover them.
I have a friend who, in our days of word search weekends, would circle words on the grid as she found them, but would never strike them off the list. About midway through the game, she would always be struck with confusion or going back and forth to figure out if she had indeed found the word. Do not make the same mistake. Cross each of the words off the list as soon as you find them.
4. Guide your eyes with your finger or back of pen/pencil.
You might have noticed this before, but when your eyes have a lot of detail to look at, they might dart here and there without actually taking in all of the information. Guide your eyes along the lines and columns as you go to help them focus and to help the brain focus on what you are doing.
5. Get a new perspective – turn the puzzle upside down.
This might sound a bit bizarre, but if you give your brain a whole new perspective, a word or two might just pop right out at you. You can try this out by turning the word search upside down and scanning it for words.
6. Pay attention to letters that stand out.
Some letters will stand out on a grid easier, such as O, D, Q, and B. Let your eyes quickly find these letters and see if any words form easily around them. By spotting the letters that stand out, you can target certain words on your list quickly.
7. Search for uncommon letters in words.
Some letters are considered “uncommon” because they do not often appear in words. Think about Q, X, Y, K, and Z. If you have words in your list that use these letters, hunt them down on the grid so that you can strike those words off quickly.
8. Search the grid before consulting the word list.
Most people look at the list of words first and then hunt for them on the grid. Another tactic you can use is to look at the grid and see if any words stand out to you. If they do, locate them on the list, circle the word on the grid, and strike the word out on the list.
9. Take a refresher/break when you feel frustrated.
There have often been times where I have been working on hard on a Word Search puzzle and frustration levels are high. You can keep working, but chances are that frustration levels will only rise and your head will become fuzzy, so it is better to take a break. Completely disconnect from the puzzle. Walk away, have a conversation, think about something else entirely, and then only come back when you are feeling more relaxed and ready to work again.
10. Check surrounding letters.
If you find a key letter on the grid that forms part of the word you are looking for, check out the surrounding letters to see if you are on track or if you should move on to the next area on the grid.
11. Look for words with double letters first.
There is no denying that double letters are easier for the eye to see. Scan the grid for double letters and then reference your word list. You can get these words out of the way quickly. I have found that this technique is particularly useful when I am playing a timed round of word search.
12. Get goofy with the word list to save time.
This is something I have always done since I was a kid. Take the words on the list that you are looking for and make up a quick little rhyme or silly sentence. The brain tends to snap onto these sentences and remember them quickly. Once you have that sentence in your mind, you will not have to waste time while consistently checking the word list, because you will be able to easily recall the words from memory.
13. Look for end letters on hard-to-find words.
Sometimes looking for the whole word can be more difficult than trying to find the last few letters. If the word is a hard one to find (perhaps it has unusual spelling), keep an eye open for the last 3 letters of the word. When you spot them, look at the surrounding letters to see if they complete the word.
14. Qs on the grid with no accompanying U can be disregarded.
Checking out the grid for any Q letters is important. If you have a Q letter that is followed by a U, it generally means that it is going to be of some use to you (if it forms part of a word in the list). If you spot a Q letter with no U letter anywhere insight, you can disregard the Q as it probably has no purpose for the word search.
15. Check each row by row.
One strategy to finding words quickly is to go row by row, looking for words.
16. Check each column by column.
Much the same as the point above, you should check column by column for words. The methodical approach will make words stand out quickly.
17. Use different colored highlighters or pencils.
When circling words, the grid can become somewhat busy and confusing. I like to use different colored pens and highlighters so that I can separate words, see where they start and end and try to pick up new words in between them.
Last word
There is an age-old saying that goes “practice makes perfect”, and it really does ring true when it comes to solving word searches. While the abovementioned tips, tricks, and strategies will truly make a difference to your abilities and speed, it is practice that will really cement your progress in the task of word search solving.
With that in mind, put these tips, tricks, and strategies in place and you could be solving word searches in record time! Improve your skills and enjoy the brain work out!
