SETBACK is on the list on purpose. Every honest account of getting better includes one, and a grid that pretended otherwise would be no use to anyone sitting in a clinic waiting room with this sheet on their knee. PATIENCE is here too, doing the heavy lifting.
Some puzzle books print word find on the cover and others print word search. This recovery grid works for either.
Frequently asked questions
Why include a negative word like SETBACK?
Because recovery is rarely a straight line, and a vocabulary that admits this is more useful than one that does not.
Are the terms about physical or emotional recovery?
They apply to both, which is deliberate, since the same words tend to get used in either situation.
