To be completely honest, my favorite part of the game isn't the final touchdown, but watching players group up in a tight huddle. If you feel the same way about tossing the pigskin, enjoy finding those terms hidden here.

Some puzzle books print word find on the cover and others print word search. This football grid works for either.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a football sometimes referred to as a pigskin?

Early versions of the ball were originally made using inflated animal bladders, though today they are typically manufactured from cowhide or synthetic rubber.

What exactly is the gridiron?

It refers to the playing field itself, named for the intersecting yard lines that resemble a metal cooking grate.
