A dramatic dynasty
The TUDOR DYNASTY ruled England through some of its most dramatic years, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding KING HENRY the Eighth, famous for his six WIVES, his second wife Anne BOLEYN, and his daughters QUEEN ELIZABETH and 'BLOODY MARY'.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the court, no two Tudors word searches are the same. One round a backwards PROTESTANT hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ELIZABETH appears across the middle.
Kings, queens and the court
The Tudor court was a place of power and danger, and the words are here. There's the KING and QUEEN on the THRONE in the PALACE, the COURTIER seeking favour, and the constant fear of TREASON — which could lead to the TOWER or being BEHEADED. Henry's split with the church closed every MONASTERY and divided the land between CATHOLIC and PROTESTANT. There was JOUSTING for sport, and the great defeat of the SPANISH ARMADA — all part of the ROYAL story.
It's a great fit for a history topic. Tracking down P-R-O-T-E-S-T-A-N-T turns spelling practice into a royal drama.
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.
