About this puzzle
Cozy up with a winter word search: snow, sledding, blizzards, igloos and polar bears hidden in a frosty grid of letters.
It is a calm indoor activity for cold afternoons, and it works just as well on a tablet by the fire as on paper.
How to play
- Choose a level: Easy, Medium or Hard.
- Find a word from the list in the grid and drag across it — or tap its first letter, then its last letter.
- Found words are highlighted and crossed off. Clear the whole list to finish.
Tips
- Words like “hibernate” and “avalanche” stand out by their length.
- If you get stuck, try reading each column from the top down.
