Six sides, every time. Water molecules lock together at an angle that leaves a HEXAGON, so the LATTICE can only grow six ways and the SYMMETRY follows from physics rather than luck. What differs is the branching: a DENDRITE sprouts arms in wet air, while cold dry air gives the flat PRISM shapes that fall as POWDER. This word find gathers the vocabulary of that one small piece of weather.
Frequently asked questions
Is it true no two snowflakes are alike?
Nobody can check, which is the honest answer. A single CRYSTAL contains so many water molecules that an identical twin is unlikely, but the claim is untested rather than proven.
What is the difference between a FLURRY and a BLIZZARD?
A flurry is light snow that does not settle much. A blizzard needs strong wind and low visibility for a sustained stretch, not just heavy snowfall.
