Inside the computer, in one grid
Every computer is a box of clever parts, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the bits you touch — MONITOR, KEYBOARD and MOUSE — the parts that do the thinking, from the PROCESSOR to the MEMORY and HARDDRIVE, and the add-ons around them, from the PRINTER to the WEBCAM.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two computers word searches are the same. One round a backwards CURSOR hides in a corner; the next a diagonal PROCESSOR runs across the middle.
A core fit for computing topics
Knowing the parts of a computer is a building block of ICT, and a word search is a friendly way to lock in the names. This puzzle pairs well with a 'parts of a computer' lesson or a hardware topic.
Most words are short for Easy mode, while longer ones like PROCESSOR and HARDDRIVE give older students a little more to find.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
