Medium: 15 x 15 grid, large print

All 18 words, running across, down or diagonally. No backwards words.

How to print

Open the PDF for your paper size and print at 100% / Actual size (not “fit to page”) for the biggest letters. Every sheet keeps a half-inch margin, so it prints cleanly on home printers. The answer key is a separate file.

Words in this puzzle

The medium grid hides all 18 words. The easy grid uses the first 12 (shown in bold).

Checked by our software

Every grid is generated and then verified by our own puzzle software: each word appears exactly once, and the filler letters are screened so they do not spell anything unfortunate.
