Difficulty Level

This spring word search was designed for kids in the elementary grades. It’s a hard word search for that age group.

There are 25 spring words for kids to find and circle in an 18 X 18 grid of uppercase letters.

The words are not difficult, but finding them can prove challenging. Just the fact that the words are smaller, with not too many letters, adds to the level of difficulty. And trying to find smaller words in a sea of letters can be tough.

The words of this difficult spring word search are hidden in every possible direction – horizontally, vertically and diagonally: forwards and backwards.

To make it even harder, a large percentage of the words are hidden upside down, backwards, and diagonally backwards.

Kids will really have to hunt to find all the words in this puzzle.
