Easy puzzles for kids

These are the gentlest puzzles on Riddle Lamp, gathered in one place for young solvers and the grown-ups helping them. The word searches are small 7 × 7 grids with five everyday words, such as SWING, DOG, and SAND. The logic grids use three people, three items, and three places, with three or four short clues each. Every puzzle can be played in the browser without an account, or printed to solve with a pencil. A few notes before you start: our online word searches hide words in all eight directions, including backward, so very new readers may like to begin with the printable easy word search pack, where words only run left to right or top to bottom. For logic grids, start with the puzzles where every clue is a direct match.
