About this puzzle

Shamrocks, rainbows and a leprechaun guarding his pot of gold. St. Patrick’s Day falls on March 17 and honors Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who by legend used the three-leaf shamrock to teach. Today it means green clothes, Irish music on the fiddle and the harp, and big parades; New York has marched since the 1700s and Chicago dyes its river green.

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: Shamrock, Leprechaun, Rainbow, Green, Lucky, Clover, Parade, Ireland, Harp, Fiddle, Horseshoe, Coins, Bagpipes, Dancing, Celtic, Cabbage, Emerald, Dublin, Limerick, Blarney.

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.
