A trip around the world
Some buildings are so famous you'd know them anywhere, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the EIFFEL tower in Paris, the Roman COLOSSEUM, the Egyptian PYRAMIDS and SPHINX, and the leaning tower of PISA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the map, no two world landmarks word searches are the same. One round a backwards STONEHENGE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal TAJ MAHAL appears across the middle.
Ancient wonders and modern icons
From the ancient world to the modern city, the great sights are all here. Visit the Greek ACROPOLIS and PARTHENON, the Spanish ALHAMBRA, the rock city of PETRA, and the Moscow KREMLIN. There's London's BIG BEN, the Paris LOUVRE, the STATUE of LIBERTY, and a TOWER, PAGODA, OBELISK, MONUMENT or CATHEDRAL on every corner.
It's a great fit for a geography lesson on the world's countries and cultures. Tracking down C-O-L-O-S-S-E-U-M turns spelling practice into a grand tour.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each landmark you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to visit.
