Old gods of eastern Europe
Long before the modern age, the Slavic peoples told tales of powerful gods, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the thunder god PERUN, his great rival VELES, the sky-and-fire god SVAROG, the sun god DAZHBOG, the earth goddess MOKOSH, and the dark CHERNOBOG.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the legends, no two Slavic mythology word searches are the same. One round a backwards CHERNOBOG hides in a corner; the next a diagonal FIREBIRD appears across the middle.
Witches, spirits and the Firebird
Slavic folklore is full of magical creatures, and the words are here. There's the famous witch Baba YAGA, the glowing FIREBIRD of fairy tales, the deathless villain KOSCHEI, and the dragon ZMEY. The world is alive with spirits: the forest LESHY, the water RUSALKA and VODYANOY, the house spirits DOMOVOI and KIKIMORA. You'll also meet the wind god STRIBOG, the goddesses LADA and MORANA, the three-headed TRIGLAV, the bird ALKONOST, the guardian BEREGINYA and the winged SIMARGL.
It's a great fit for a mythology or folklore topic. Tracking down C-H-E-R-N-O-B-O-G turns spelling practice into a Slavic legend.
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.
