Word Search Puzzles
Word search puzzles originated in Spain in the 1960s and is known there as “Sopa de Letras” (Soup of Letters). The objective of a word search is to locate a list of words hidden on a grid. As each of the words is located, they are circled on the grid and then struck from the list. The purpose of a word search is to entertain, educate, and bring people together.
