Countries word search

The world is a big place, made up of countries with their own flags, foods and stories. Nations from every continent are hidden in the grid for young explorers to find. A gentle first step into geography.

Difficulty

Easy hides words across and down; Hard adds diagonals, backwards words and heavier camouflage.

Smaller grids print larger.

Two pages: the puzzle and its answer key. Loop each hidden word or shade its letters, the answer page updates as you choose.
