What this puzzle is about
Evening Festival is a medium word search that captures a fair after dark. Ten words are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid: a LANTERN and a LIGHT, MUSIC on a STAGE, a PARADE and a DANCE, a TICKET, a RIBBON, a PRIZE, and the FAIR itself. Words run in straight lines in any of eight directions, including backward and diagonally.
Who it suits
Medium puzzles use a 14 × 14 grid with ten words. Most words here are five or six letters long, which makes for a steady, satisfying hunt. It suits older kids, adults, and anyone looking for a festive puzzle. It pairs well with The Evening Fair logic grid, released the same day.
How to start
Start with PRIZE: a single Z is easy to spot in a grid of letters. Then look for the double B in RIBBON, and for TICKET, the only word with a K. Leave FAIR for last; once the long words are marked, there are fewer places for it to hide.
About the words
LANTERN is the longest word, at seven letters, and FAIR is the shortest, at four. PRIZE is the only word with a Z, and RIBBON has a double B. LANTERN and LIGHT both start with L, and PARADE and PRIZE both start with P.
