What makes these word search puzzles so much fun?First, the letters in every grid form a picture. So instead of squares, you get cool-looking shapes like a rocket ship, a teddy bear, or a windsurfer. To make things even more interesting, we’ve added a few more twists. Three of the puzzles don’t have word lists—you have to create them from the clues you’re given. To top it all off, each puzzle has a hidden message! Once you have circled all the correct phrases, the uncircled letters will spell out a silly quote, fun fact, or punch line to a riddle.

Word search puzzles don’t get much better than this.”—Will Shortz, Puzzlemaster for National Public RadioMark Danna—whose earlier Word Search Puzzles for Kids was a huge success—has come up with even more smart search challenges to delight brainy youngsters. What makes them so special? First, the letters in every grid form a picture, so instead of ho-hum squares, children get lively shapes. Then, the puzzles feature a few additional twists. Three of the searches don’t have word lists, for example; the puzzler has to create them from a series of clues. And finally, each puzzle has a hidden message: once kids have circled all the correct phrases, the uncircled letters will spell out a silly quote, fun fact, or punch line to a “punny” riddle.
