Keeping the planes flying
An airport runs around the clock thanks to a huge team, and this puzzle gathers their jobs. You'll be finding the CAPTAIN and the CO-PILOT (here as COPILOT) up front, the cabin CREW and STEWARD looking after passengers, and the air traffic CONTROLLER in the tower guiding every plane safely onto the RUNWAY.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Airport Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards DISPATCHER hides in a corner; the next a diagonal CONTROLLER appears across the middle.
On the ground and in the air
It takes dozens of roles to get you flying, and the words are here. At CHECKIN a GREETER points the way, SECURITY scans your bag and CUSTOMS checks your passport. Outside, a BAGGAGE handler and LOADER fill the hold, a MARSHAL waves the plane to the GATE, the REFUELER tops up the tanks, and an ENGINEER and MECHANIC make sure everything works. A CLEANER tidies the CABIN, the DISPATCHER plans the schedule, and once BOARDING is done, you're off into the sky.
It's a great fit for a jobs or transport topic. Tracking down C-O-N-T-R-O-L-L-E-R turns spelling practice into a trip through the airport.
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.
