The nations of Asia
Asia is the biggest continent of all, home to more than half the world's people, and this puzzle gathers many of its countries. You'll be finding the giants — CHINA, INDIA and JAPAN — alongside the Southeast Asian favourites THAILAND, VIETNAM and INDONESIA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the map, no two Asian countries word searches are the same. One round a backwards SINGAPORE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal BANGLADESH appears across the middle.
From the Himalayas to the Middle East
Asia spans an incredible range. Climb the Himalayas through NEPAL and BHUTAN, cross the steppes of MONGOLIA, and tour Southeast Asia via MALAYSIA, CAMBODIA, MYANMAR and LAOS. Further west lie PAKISTAN and the Middle Eastern nations IRAN, ISRAEL, JORDAN and LEBANON. We've hidden KOREA, TAIWAN and SINGAPORE too.
It's a great fit for a geography lesson on Asia and the world map. Tracking down B-A-N-G-L-A-D-E-S-H turns spelling practice into a continental tour.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each country you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
