A pig and his spider
E.B. White's Charlotte's Web is one of the most beloved children's books ever, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding the RUNT PIG WILBUR, saved by the kind girl FERN, and his unlikely best friend, the grey SPIDER CHARLOTTE, who spins words into her WEB to save his life.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the barn, no two Charlotte's Web word searches are the same. One round a backwards TEMPLETON hides in a corner; the next a diagonal FRIENDSHIP appears across the middle.
Life on the farm
The story is set in a cosy FARM and BARN, and the cast is here. There's the greedy RAT TEMPLETON, the GOOSE and SHEEP, and the ZUCKERMAN family who own the farm. Charlotte saves Wilbur by SPINNING the words TERRIFIC, RADIANT and HUMBLE into her web, making him a star and a PRIZE-winner at the COUNTY FAIR — a story of LOYAL FRIENDSHIP that lasts.
It's a great fit for a reading or book topic. Tracking down F-R-I-E-N-D-S-H-I-P turns spelling practice into a heartwarming tale.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
