About this puzzle

The last full month of summer. This August word search mixes county fairs, lighthouses and garden-ripe peaches, tomatoes and zucchini with the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks around August 12. Then it is back to school with backpacks, pencils and new crayons. August is National Peach Month and National Sandwich Month, the birthstone is the peridot and the birth flowers are the gladiolus and the poppy.

Easy (10×10) places words across and down only. Medium (13×13) adds diagonals. Hard (15×15) runs words in all eight directions, and its filler letters are borrowed from the word list to create false starts.

All 20 words in this theme: Backpack, School, Pencils, Crayons, Notebook, Peaches, Tomatoes, Sandwich, Sunglasses, Sprinkler, Lighthouse, Friendship, Meteor, Fairgrounds, Cicada, Zucchini, Peridot, Gladiolus, Poppy, Virgo.

Questions

Can I print copies for my whole class?

Yes. Puzzles are free for classroom and personal use. Use “Shuffle grid” and print to give students different layouts of the same words.

Which level should I choose?

Easy suits grades 2–3: a small grid with words only across and down. Medium adds diagonals for grades 4–6. Hard uses a bigger grid with words in all eight directions, good for middle school and adults.

Is there a large print version?

Yes. Every theme has a large print edition with bigger letters and a roomier grid, made for seniors and low vision.
