At a glance

Word Search #18 in brief

  • A 12x12 grid — 144 letters — with ten words buried in it.
  • The grid, row by row: VTEASCWSULIK / NBRASFESOGCY / FSPUGLLARTIN / YRAIEFFSGTNN / DRGYFTSPONGE / IGTNASSIORCN / APQSIDHTIAWY / SNRDAWIGRYES / ACUEYPHEUAGS / LERIKOUISOFA / RBSAIAOTSEDA / NOOSAABMZKFA.
  • They run from 4 to 9 letters, and 6 of the ten are written in reverse, so scanning left-to-right alone will not finish this one.
