What is hidden in this Valentines word search?

Twelve words in a 12x12 grid: cupid, roses, chocolate, heart, candy, arrow, flowers, cards, hugs, kisses, romance and valentine. CHOCOLATE and VALENTINE are the nine letter anchors and the sensible first targets, because a long word has fewer places it can possibly sit. HUGS is the one that hides longest.

How hard is it, and what age is it for?

Harder than it looks. Every one of the eight directions is in play on this board, diagonally and backwards as well as across and down, so it suits roughly age 8 and up and it still gives adults a proper hunt. If you want something gentler for younger children, the easy word search hides eight words across and down only.

Can I print it for a class or a party?

Yes. Both PDFs are free, with no sign up: one sheet for the puzzle and a separate one for the solution, so you can hand out the grid without handing out the answers. Print one per child for a class party, or leave it on the table while dinner finishes.
