Find these words
Old maps did not say here be dragons nearly as often as people think. Mostly they said nothing at all, and left the space blank, which was the honest thing to do. UNCHARTED, SEXTANT, and CARTOGRAPHY are all in the grid, along with the LANDFALL that ended the blankness.
The phrase word find turns up about as often as word search, so treat these 11 explorer words as whichever you prefer.
