From teacher to kingpin
Breaking Bad is one of the most acclaimed dramas ever made, and this puzzle gathers its key players. You'll be finding WALTER WHITE and his alter ego HEISENBERG, his ex-student and partner JESSE PINKMAN, and the family caught in the middle — SKYLER, HANK and MARIE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the cast, no two Breaking Bad word searches are the same. One round a backwards FRING hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SAUL slides in with a business card.
The whole criminal web
The supporting players make the show, and they're all here. Track down slippery lawyer SAUL GOODMAN, chicken-restaurant kingpin GUS FRING, hot-headed TUCO, and DEA agent SCHRADER. We've also hidden the words that define the show — the LAB, the CARTEL, the EMPIRE and the infamous COOK.
Set in the sun-baked sprawl of New Mexico, this is a puzzle for fans who watched Walt's transformation from start to finish.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know who's still in play.
