Packed in this grid

Beach, sunshine, waves, sandals, popsicle, swimming, vacation, seashell, picnic, lemonade, towel and pool. POOL looks easy and is not: two identical letters in the middle of a word make your eye skip, and the grid knows it. SWIMMING pulls the same trick with its double M.

The car trip test

This is the sheet to print before a long drive: it needs one pencil, it survives being folded into a pocket, and it lasts longer than any battery. Print two copies and make it a race at the rest stop. For the trip home, the solution sheet doubles as a checklist of what was found.

Print it or play it

The board on this page, the PDF and the solution sheet are all the same generated puzzle. Solve it with sandy fingers on a phone or with a pencil on paper; the words are in the same places.
