A sky full of objects to discover. Find all 10 hidden words in a 14 × 14 grid. Words can run in eight directions, including backward and diagonally.
Find all 10 words
Drag across a word, or tap its first and last letters. Words run horizontally, vertically and diagonally, in either direction.
What this puzzle is about
Night Sky is a medium word search about the objects and events you might read about in astronomy. Ten space words are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid, from familiar ones like MOON and STAR to longer terms like NEBULA and TELESCOPE.
Who it suits
This medium puzzle suits older kids, teens, and adults who want a longer search. Several of the words are a little less common, so it can double as light vocabulary practice for space-curious solvers. Words can run in eight directions, including backward and diagonally.
How to start
Begin with TELESCOPE, the longest word at nine letters. Its letters include a repeated E, so try following it from the first T you find. NEBULA and ECLIPSE are good next targets because they contain less common letter combinations.
About the words
The ten words are PLANET, COMET, ORBIT, NEBULA, GALAXY, STAR, MOON, ECLIPSE, METEOR, and TELESCOPE. A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space, and a telescope is the tool used to observe all of these things.
