How to use this word search

All eight directions, including backwards. Circle each complete word and cross it off the list. Letters may belong to more than one word.

The hard Thanksgiving edition has sixteen words in eight directions, including backwards. Inspect long spellings in the word list before looking for a path. Shared letters are allowed, so a word can cross a find already marked.

After the activity

Use the theme to describe an imaginary gathering or menu. Keep the easy harvest page available for anyone who prefers fewer words and simpler directions.
