Difficulty Level
This tough camping word puzzle has 32 words for the searcher to hunt for. More than half of the words are 8 letters or longer, with the longest 2-word combination having 15 letters.
The words can be found in every possible direction. Of course there are a few words hidden the way we read: forwards, horizontally. But to make it more challenging, many of the words are also hidden backwards or upside down – horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
The 32 camping themed words are hidden in an 18 X 21 grid of letters.
While this hard word search was designed for kids 5th grade or older, it is also challenging enough for adults to try.
