What this puzzle is about
Bookshop Finds is a medium word search for readers. Ten words about books and reading are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid, covering the parts of a book, the people who write them, and the places where they are kept.
Who it suits
This medium puzzle suits older kids, teens, and adults who like a longer search with a calm theme. It can also be a gentle literacy activity, since the list includes useful vocabulary such as INDEX and CHAPTER. Words can run in eight directions, including backward and diagonally.
How to start
Begin with LIBRARY or CHAPTER, the two seven-letter words. LIBRARY has a distinctive Y at the end, and CHAPTER starts with the pair CH. After that, AUTHOR is a good target because it starts with the less common pair AU.
About the words
The ten words are NOVEL, COVER, PAGE, INDEX, AUTHOR, CHAPTER, STORY, POEM, SHELF, and LIBRARY. They cover what a book is made of, what it contains, and where it lives, which makes the list easy to sort into groups after you finish.
