Life in the canopy
The rainforest is the busiest place on Earth, and this puzzle gathers the whole jungle. You'll be spotting the sleepy SLOTH hanging in the branches, the spotted JAGUAR on the prowl, the cheeky MONKEY swinging past, and the loud, colourful MACAW and TOUCAN calling from the treetops.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the jungle, no two rainforest word searches are the same. One round a backwards GORILLA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ORANGUTAN climbs across the middle.
The weird and wonderful
The rainforest is full of animals you won't see anywhere else. Keep an eye out for the striped-legged OKAPI, the giant CAPYBARA, the long-nosed COATI and the night-climbing KINKAJOU. We've even hidden the toothy PIRANHA in the rivers below for sharp-eyed explorers.
It's a brilliant pairing for a lesson on rainforests, habitats or endangered animals. Tracking down C-A-S-S-O-W-A-R-Y turns spelling practice into a proper expedition.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each animal you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's still hiding in the canopy.
