Careers full of imagination
Some people make a living from their imagination, and this puzzle gathers their jobs. You'll be finding the ARTIST and PAINTER at the easel, the WRITER and AUTHOR at the keyboard, the ACTOR and PERFORMER on the stage, and the SINGER and MUSICIAN making music for everyone to enjoy.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Creative Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards CARTOONIST hides in a corner; the next a diagonal FILMMAKER appears across the middle.
Makers of art, stories and shows
Creative work comes in every shape, and the words are here. A DESIGNER and ANIMATOR work on screens, a CARTOONIST draws comics, and the EDITOR and POET bring books to life. On stage and screen, the DIRECTOR and FILMMAKER lead the show while the DANCER moves to a COMPOSER's score. With their hands, the SCULPTOR shapes stone, the POTTER throws clay, the JEWELLER sets gems, the TAILOR sews, and the STYLIST puts the perfect look together.
It's a great fit for a jobs or arts topic. Tracking down C-A-R-T-O-O-N-I-S-T turns spelling practice into a creative project.
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.
