The film that invented the blockbuster
Jaws kept a generation out of the water, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding the trio who hunt the SHARK — police chief BRODY, salty captain QUINT, and shark expert HOOPER — aboard Quint's boat, the ORCA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the sea, no two Jaws word searches are the same. One round a backwards GREAT WHITE lurks in a corner; the next a diagonal FIN cuts across the middle.
Amity Island in peril
The setting is as memorable as the monster. Track down the holiday town of AMITY, its busy BEACH, the SUMMER crowds the MAYOR refuses to send home, and the warning BUOY bobbing offshore. There's the diving CAGE, the deadly TEETH, and that famous line about needing a BIGGER BOAT.
From the first ATTACK to the final HUNT, this puzzle captures the suspense of the original summer blockbuster.
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.
