How these worksheets work
Word search words run across, down and diagonally, always forwards, and every word appears exactly once. Crossword answers are written without spaces; the numbers in brackets give the length of each word, such as (5,7) for United Kingdom.
Every puzzle is plain black type on white, so it prints and photocopies cleanly. Each PDF holds two or more different puzzles, one per page, so a class can share one file.
