Find these words
The word antonym was coined in 1867 from the Greek for "against" and "name", as a partner for synonym. This grid holds five pairs, ABOVE and BELOW, BEFORE and AFTER, INSIDE and OUTSIDE, NARROW and WIDE, ROUGH and SMOOTH, plus one word without its partner: TIGHT. Words run across, down, backwards and up.

Frequently asked questions
Why is there an odd number of words if they are opposite pairs?
Five words have their opposite in the list and TIGHT does not, which makes 11. Its partner, loose, is a good one to ask kids to name out loud. The words are placed at random in the grid, so a pair is not usually side by side.
Are antonyms exactly the same thing as opposites?
They are very similar, but antonyms specifically refer to words with contrasting meanings rather than just broadly opposing concepts or physical forces.
