Journey Word Search, free printable PDF preview

A trip has a destination. An odyssey has a plot. An excursion is a trip that has been organised by somebody else, and a pilgrimage is one where arriving matters less than the walking. English is unusually fussy about this, and every shade of it turns up in the grid.

Anyone hunting for a journey word find ends up somewhere like this, which is fine, because it is the same puzzle under another label.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an odyssey different from an ordinary trip?

It implies a long and eventful passage full of detours, rather than a straightforward run from one place to another.

Why are DEPART and ARRIVE both hidden here?

Any journey is defined by its two ends, so the grid keeps both of them in play.
