A fresh catch on a plate
Seafood comes in every shape, and this puzzle gathers the catch of the day. You'll be finding the popular fish — SALMON, TUNA, COD and HADDOCK — and the shellfish favourites, from SHRIMP and PRAWN to CRAB and LOBSTER.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the net, no two seafood word searches are the same. One round a backwards CALAMARI hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SCALLOP appears across the middle.
From the shell and the deep
There's plenty more in the haul. Crack open some MUSSELS, CLAMS and an OYSTER, try a slice of SUSHI or a spoon of CAVIAR, and pull in the SARDINE, HERRING, MACKEREL and ANCHOVY. We've even hidden the OCTOPUS and the freshwater CRAYFISH for sharp-eyed cooks.
It's a tasty fit for a food topic or a lesson on where our food comes from. Tracking down M-A-C-K-E-R-E-L turns spelling practice into a proper seafood feast.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each catch you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left in the net.
