The people who serve the shoppers
Every shop runs on a friendly team, and this puzzle gathers their jobs. You'll be finding the CASHIER at the till, the SHOPKEEPER who owns the store, the helpful sales ASSISTANT and GREETER, and the MANAGER who keeps the whole place running smoothly.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Shop Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards PHARMACIST hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SHOPKEEPER appears across the middle.
Around the shops
Different shops need different experts, and the words are here. The BUTCHER, BAKER and GROCER sell food, the FLORIST sells flowers, the JEWELLER sells rings, the TAILOR makes clothes fit, and the PHARMACIST hands out medicine. Behind the scenes, the STOCKER fills the AISLE and the CLERK and SALESMAN help the CUSTOMER find what they need. At the CHECKOUT, the till (or REGISTER) beeps as it scans each BARCODE, the shopper unloads the TROLLEY, and out comes the printed RECEIPT.
It's a great fit for a jobs or community-helpers topic. Tracking down S-H-O-P-K-E-E-P-E-R turns spelling practice into a shopping trip.
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.
