The world's great peaks in one grid
Mountains are the planet at its most dramatic, and this puzzle gathers the giants. You'll be hunting for famous peaks — EVEREST, KILIMANJARO and the MATTERHORN — sweeping ranges from the ALPS to the ANDES and HIMALAYAS, and the words every climber knows, from SUMMIT to GLACIER.
Because every new puzzle redraws the range, no two mountains word searches are the same. One round you're scaling DENALI in the diagonals; the next a backwards AVALANCHE is tumbling through the corner.
A peak classroom theme
Mountains are a favourite geography topic, packed with great vocabulary, and a word search makes it stick. It's perfect for lessons on landscapes, continents and the natural world.
With no timer, it's a relaxed climb. Spotting KILIMANJARO tucked diagonally into a corner is a small summit of its own — that long one prefers the bigger grids.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's still to climb.
Want a bigger challenge? Switch to Medium or Hard for a larger grid with diagonal and reverse words (and room for the longest peak names). Stuck on one? Tap Hint, or Solve to reach every summit at once.
