WEATHER WORD SEARCH

A weather word search, free to play and free to print with an answer key. Two levels covering the same subject at very different depths.

Weather is the small talk of every language on earth, which makes it unusually useful vocabulary — you will use rain, wind, cloud and cold within a day of learning them. The easy level covers that everyday set and shows a plain meaning for each word as you find it.

The harder level is closer to a forecast — BAROMETER, ISOBAR, WINDCHILL, TEMPERATE, MONSOON. Words that get read out on television every evening and almost never written by hand.

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.
