Fun grids, hidden messages, and entertaining twists! This collection has amazing variety, with grids that form cool pictures (like a rocket ship) to match the puzzle’s theme and extra challenges to add spice to the solving. Once you’ve found all the words, read the uncircled letters from left to right, top to bottom, to spell out a fascinating fact or riddle response.
The "Mensa" series of language-based puzzles just keeps selling and selling - 240,000 copies so far - and here's the latest blockbuster entry, meant for a slightly younger age. It features 26 grids in the shape of each capital letter, plus 13 in the shape of lowercase letters and another 13 in the shape of commonly paired letters (such as ON, IT, and CH). To add to the appeal, all the grids come in interesting shapes, including easily recognizable animals and objects. And each puzzle contains a secret message too! An explanation page for each puzzle section explains just what to do.
There are ordinary word searches...and then there are these created especially for kids by Mark Danna. What makes them special? For starters, many of them have shapes that relate to their themes: a penguin, a rocket ship, a wedding cake, a volcano, or some other appealing design. Best of all, every one of the 52 puzzles delivers a hidden payoff: After all the hidden words and phrases have been correctly circled, the remaining letters spell out a fascinating fact, a wacky joke, a tongue twister, or something else guaranteed to raise a smile. This is a surefire hit for kids who enjoy a challenge.
