A night under the stars
Camping is a brilliant way to enjoy the OUTDOORS, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding the TENT you sleep in (held down with PEGS), the cosy SLEEPING bag, the crackling CAMPFIRE, and the bright STARS overhead far from the city lights.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Camping word searches are the same. One round a backwards MARSHMALLOW hides in a corner; the next a diagonal FLASHLIGHT appears across the middle.
Out in the wild
A good camping trip needs the right kit, and the words are here. You pack a BACKPACK with a MAP, a COMPASS, a LANTERN and a FLASHLIGHT, set up a TARP for shelter, and cook on a little STOVE with a COOLER of food nearby. By day you HIKE along a forest TRAIL and spot WILDLIFE; by night you toast a MARSHMALLOW and make SMORES, sip from your CANTEEN, and stay up to watch the SUNRISE over the FOREST.
It's a great fit for an outdoor or hobbies topic. Tracking down M-A-R-S-H-M-A-L-L-O-W turns spelling practice into a camping trip.
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.
