What this puzzle is about

Underwater World is a medium word search about life and features beneath the sea. Ten ocean words are hidden in a 14 × 14 grid, from large animals like the WHALE and DOLPHIN to the REEF and KELP where smaller creatures live.

Who it suits

It is a medium puzzle that suits older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy ocean themes. With ten words running in eight directions, including backward and diagonally, it takes more time than an easy board and makes a good follow-up to Beach Day.

How to start

Begin with DOLPHIN or CURRENT, the two seven-letter words. CURRENT has a double R, which is easy to spot, and DOLPHIN contains the pair PH. Once those are found, look for WHALE and SHARK.

About the words

The list is OCEAN, REEF, WHALE, SHARK, CORAL, DOLPHIN, CURRENT, KELP, TIDE, and SHELL. Kelp is a large seaweed, and a reef is a ridge, often built by coral, near the surface of the water. The list mixes animals, plants, and features of the sea.
