The earliest people
The Stone Age was the dawn of human history, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding the CAVEMAN and his world — the FLINT used to make TOOLS, the SPEAR and AXE for HUNTING, the mighty MAMMOTH they hunted, and the all-important FIRE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles prehistory, no two Stone Age word searches are the same. One round a backwards STONEHENGE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal MAMMOTH thunders across the middle.
Hunters, gatherers and survival
Stone Age people were HUNTER-GATHERERs, and the words are here. Living as a TRIBE and a NOMAD, they found SHELTER in a CAVE, made cave PAINTING with charcoal and ANTLER tools, carved BONE, shaped POTTERY, and slowly learned new skills — even the WHEEL and, later, BRONZE. Every day was about SURVIVAL, and the great stone circle of STONEHENGE still stands from those distant times.
It's a great fit for a history topic. Tracking down S-T-O-N-E-H-E-N-G-E turns spelling practice into a trip to prehistory.
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.
