Loud, fast and raw
Punk stripped music back to its rawest form, and this puzzle gathers its spirit. You'll be finding the sound — LOUD, FAST and RAW, built on a THREE CHORD riff, a snotty SNARL and a whole lot of ATTITUDE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the gig, no two punk word searches are the same. One round a backwards REBELLION hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ANARCHY scrawls across the middle.
Do it yourself
Punk was as much an attitude as a sound. It was DIY to the core — bands rehearsing in a BASEMENT or GARAGE, making their own ZINE, with no rules but plenty of CHAOS. There's the look — the MOHAWK, the LEATHER jacket, the SPIKES and the SAFETY PIN — and the moves, from the POGO to the MOSH pit. A true REBEL stirring up a RIOT, with GRUNGE waiting just around the corner.
It's a fun fit for a music lesson on genres and decades. Tracking down R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N turns spelling practice into a punk anthem.
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.
