SPRINGSHOWERFOURTHAPRILMONTHBLOOMTULIPFOOLSGREENTHAWRAIN
Beginners go straight for APRIL and SPRING, which are exactly where you would expect them. The practiced eye skips both and goes hunting for THAW and FOOLS, because the four-letter words are the ones that vanish into a grid without leaving a trace.
Frequently asked questions
Why is FOOLS on the list?
It nods to the first of the month, a tradition of harmless pranks that is far older than anyone can properly explain.
Are the short words really harder to spot?
Usually, yes, because a long word has to occupy a long straight line and that shape is easy for the eye to catch.
Does the PDF include an answer key?
Yes, the PDF has the puzzle on page one and the full answer key on page two.
