The fastest cars on the planet
A RACECAR is built for one thing — SPEED — and this puzzle gathers the sport. You'll be finding the FORMULA car lined up on the starting GRID, the DRIVER strapped into the COCKPIT, the powerful ENGINE and GEARBOX, and the long CIRCUIT or TRACK where every LAP counts.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Race Cars word searches are the same. One round a backwards CHECKERED hides in a corner; the next a diagonal CHAMPION appears across the middle.
Pit stops and the chequered flag
Winning a race takes more than a fast car, and the words are here. The DRIVER pulls on a HELMET and works the THROTTLE down each straight, then brakes hard for the tight CHICANE. A rear SPOILER presses the car to the road and grippy SLICKS hug the TRACK, while the team makes a lightning PITSTOP in the PIT to change TIRES. Cross the line under the CHECKERED flag and the CHAMPION sprays the bubbly up on the PODIUM.
It's a great fit for a sports or vehicles topic. Tracking down C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N turns spelling practice into a victory lap.
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.
