The fastest thing alive
SONIC the HEDGEHOG is famous for one thing above all — SPEED — and this puzzle gathers his world. You'll be finding the BLUE blur himself, his two-tailed fox friend TAILS, the strong-armed KNUCKLES, his pal AMY, and the round villain EGGMAN, also known as DR ROBOTNIK.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Sonic word searches are the same. One round a backwards KNUCKLES hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ROBOTNIK appears across the middle.
Rings, loops and Chaos Emeralds
A Sonic level is a blur of colour and speed, and the words are here. Sonic collects golden RINGS to stay safe, hunts for the powerful CHAOS EMERALD gems, and races through each ZONE at full SPEED. He'll DASH up a giant LOOP, SPIN through a row of enemy robots called a BADNIK, dodge the SPIKES, and unleash a super BOOST. There's the mysterious SHADOW for a rival — and yes, Sonic really does love a CHILI dog, all part of the classic SEGA adventure.
It's a great fit for a gaming topic. Tracking down H-E-D-G-E-H-O-G turns spelling practice into a high-speed dash.
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.
