America's birthday
The FOURTH of JULY marks American independence, and this puzzle gathers the celebration. You'll be finding the symbols of the day — the FLAG with its STARS and STRIPES, the bald EAGLE, the torch of LIBERTY and the spirit of FREEDOM.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the celebration, no two Fourth of July word searches are the same. One round a backwards FIREWORKS hides in a corner; the next a diagonal UNCLE SAM appears across the middle.
Cookouts, parades and fireworks
Independence Day is a day for getting together, and the traditions are here. Watch the PARADE go by, fire up the BARBECUE for a backyard COOKOUT or PICNIC, wave a BANNER, and light a SPARKLER as the FIREWORKS fill the sky. There's the PATRIOT pride, the national ANTHEM, the salute to the NATION's FOUNDING, and a SALUTE to all who serve.
It's a fun fit for a seasonal or history topic. Tracking down F-I-R-E-W-O-R-K-S turns spelling practice into a celebration.
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.
