The handy box on wheels
A VAN is one of the most useful vehicles around, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding the DELIVERY van and the CARGO it carries, the family MINIVAN with its row of SEATS, the holiday CAMPER van you can sleep in, and the flat-sided PANEL van that tradespeople love.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Vans word searches are the same. One round a backwards DELIVERY hides in a corner; the next a diagonal HIGHWAY appears across the middle.
Deliveries, campers and the open road
Vans are built to carry things and people, and the words are here. The DRIVER climbs in, checks the MIRROR and the WIPERS, and pulls away on a DIESEL ENGINE and four sturdy WHEELS. A COURIER slides open the big SLIDING DOORS for LOADING, then drops a PARCEL on the doorstep. Others pack the ROOF and tow a TRAILER for extra space, roll over a speed BUMPER, and cruise down the HIGHWAY — whether it's a work run or a CAMPER adventure.
It's a great fit for a transport topic. Tracking down D-E-L-I-V-E-R-Y turns spelling practice into a road trip.
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.
