VALENTINE’S DAY WORD SEARCH

A Valentine's Day word search you can play here or print for a class party. Pick a level, find every word hidden in the grid, and print it when you want it on paper — with a full answer key on a second sheet.

The easy level sticks to words that are short, kind and unambiguous: love, hug, gift, card, rose, heart. It is a good early-February sheet for a beginner, because the vocabulary is emotional rather than technical and the meanings are shown as each word turns up.

The harder level reaches for the language the day actually borrows from — ADORATION, COURTSHIP, ENAMORED, SERENADE. Words that are a pleasure to read and a nuisance to spot, which is what you want from a timed grid.

HOW TO PLAY

• Tap the first letter, then the last letter. No dragging, which matters on a phone where dragging a diagonal across small letters is inaccurate.
• Across, down or diagonally — never backwards, at either level.
• Either order works. Tapping the last letter first is fine; it's the line that counts.

PRINT IT

Press Print this puzzle — or just Ctrl‑P — and you'll get the grid exactly as it is on screen, with the word list underneath and a full answer key on a second sheet. Generate a new grid first if you'd like a different one; whatever is on screen is what prints. No account, no watermark, nothing to download.
