What this puzzle is about

Island Ferry is a medium word search about a boat trip across the water. Ten travel and harbor words are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid, from the FERRY and its DECK to the SHORE you are heading toward.

Who it suits

This medium puzzle suits older kids, teens, and adults who want a longer search with a travel theme. With ten words running in eight directions, including backward and diagonally, it takes more time than an easy board and pairs well with Coastal Finds.

How to start

Start with ISLAND, HARBOR, or TICKET, the longest words at six letters each. FERRY, with its double R, is also easy to recognize once you find the F. After that, move on to the four-letter words such as DOCK, DECK, and SAIL.

About the words

The ten words are FERRY, ISLAND, DOCK, HARBOR, DECK, BOAT, WAVE, TICKET, SHORE, and SAIL. HARBOR uses the American spelling. The words follow a short crossing from buying a ticket at the dock to arriving at the shore.
