Somewhere over the rainbow
The Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved films ever made, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding young DOROTHY and her dog TOTO, swept from KANSAS by a TORNADO to the magical land of Oz, with its glittering EMERALD city.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the journey, no two Wizard of Oz word searches are the same. One round a backwards SCARECROW hides in a corner; the next a diagonal RAINBOW arcs across the middle.
Friends, witches and a long road
Dorothy's companions are all here. Walk the YELLOW BRICK road with the SCARECROW who wants a brain, the TIN MAN who longs for a HEART, and the LION in search of COURAGE. There's the good witch GLINDA, the wicked WITCH, the great WIZARD, and the magic RUBY SLIPPERS that carry Dorothy home.
From a sleepy POPPY field to a swirling CYCLONE, this puzzle is brimming with the wonder of the classic film.
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.
