The luck of the Irish
St Patrick's Day paints the world GREEN every MARCH, and this puzzle gathers the fun. You'll be finding the symbols everyone knows — the SHAMROCK and four-leaf CLOVER, the mischievous LEPRECHAUN, and the POT OF GOLD at the end of the RAINBOW.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the parade, no two St Patrick's Day word searches are the same. One round a backwards LEPRECHAUN hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SHAMROCK appears across the middle.
A celebration of Ireland
The day is a proud celebration of all things IRISH, and it's here. Travel to IRELAND and its capital DUBLIN, kiss the BLARNEY stone, listen to a CELTIC HARP and dance a lively JIG. There's the patron saint PATRICK himself, the EMERALD Isle, a noisy PARADE and FESTIVAL, the playful LIMERICK rhyme, the LUCKY charms, and a friendly PINCH if you forget to wear green.
It's a fun fit for a seasonal or cultural topic. Tracking down L-E-P-R-E-C-H-A-U-N turns spelling practice into a pot of gold.
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.
