Snowflakes, mittens, sleds, icicles and hot cocoa: this winter word search hides the words of the cold season in a new puzzle every time. Play it on a snowy afternoon, or print a few pages for the classroom before the winter break.

Choose your level

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

Printable winter puzzles

The Print button makes a clean page with the grid, the word list and a line for a name. The answer key prints separately, so the solutions stay with the grown-ups. There are almost 50 winter words, so every sheet is different.

How to play

Find a word from the list in the grid and drag from its first letter to its last; on a phone, tap the first and the last letter. Each found word is crossed off, and the timer shows your time for the whole puzzle.
