Thanksgiving Word Search

Turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberries and pumpkin pie: this Thanksgiving word search hides the words of the holiday in a new puzzle every time. Play online while the oven is busy, or print a few pages for the kids' table.

Choose a level

• Easy: 8 words in a 10 × 10 grid, only across and down.
• Medium: 10 words in a 12 × 12 grid, diagonals included.
• Hard: 12 words in a 14 × 14 grid, in every direction, even backwards.

Print it for the holiday

Press Print for a clean page with the grid, the word list and a line for a name. It is a quiet activity for a classroom in the week before the break, or for guests waiting for dinner. The answer key prints on its own page.

How to play

Pick a word from the list, find its first letter and drag to the last one; on a phone you can tap the first and last letters. Found words are crossed off, and the timer shows how fast you were.
