This puzzle will have you saying lots of four-letter words. Start at any letter and follow the lines to spell out a word. Letters cannot be repeated within a word — for instance, TEEN can’t be used. How many words of exactly four letters can you find? Consider yourself a genius if you find twelve of them.

Answer

You can catch five different fish in the grid below. To spell out each one, start at a letter and move up, down, left, right, or diagonally. Letters can be used more than once — even within a word — but you can’t use a letter two times in a row. Can you find all five fish?

Aliens have invaded this word search! Every time the letters ET appear in this puzzle, they’ve been replaced by an alien’s head. (Those might look like pictures of Spider-Man, but trust me. They’re aliens.) You don’t need a ray gun to shoot down these spacemen—just circle the eighteen words, which can be found reading up, down, left, right, and diagonally, and either forward or backward.

Each of the nineteen words can be found in the grid below, but 21 of my friends have dropped by to make this word search a little more challenging: Every time a guy’s name appears in the grid, it’s been replaced by a small icon of a man. (So if PUPPETEER was in the grid, the name PETE would be replaced.) Some of the guys in the grid share the same name, and a couple of words will cross more than one icon. Can you name everyone in the puzzle and find all the words?

Each of the words in the list below can be found in the word seek grid, either forwards, backwards, up, down, or diagonally.

Each mini word seek below contains the name of a breakfast cereal. The name is spelled out in the shape of a box, with the first letter in one of the corners and reading clockwise, as in the example shown below. Answers will be either eight letters long, as with CORN POPS, or ten letters long. Can you get them all? Would you like some milk with that?
