Careers for animal lovers
Loving animals can be a whole career, and this puzzle gathers the jobs. You'll be finding the VET and the animal SURGEON who heal sick pets, the veterinary NURSE who helps them, the ZOOKEEPER who looks after the zoo, and the WILDLIFE RANGER who protects animals out in the wild.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Animal Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards FALCONER hides in a corner; the next a diagonal CARETAKER appears across the middle.
From the clinic to the wild
There's a job for every kind of animal, and the words are here. A dog WALKER and a pet SITTER help busy owners, a GROOMER keeps coats neat, and a TRAINER teaches good behaviour. The FARRIER shoes horses at the STABLE, the FALCONER works with birds of prey, and an animal RESCUER and WARDEN step in when a creature is in trouble. At the KENNEL and the AQUARIUM, a FEEDER, CARER and CARETAKER make sure every animal is fed and happy — and the BREEDER and HANDLER raise and look after them too.
It's a great fit for a jobs or animals topic. Tracking down Z-O-O-K-E-E-P-E-R turns spelling practice into a trip to the zoo.
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.
