The November Word Hunt: What We Carry
This is not a quick word search. Four increasingly dense grids hide related terms among deliberate visual distractions, overlapping paths, backward placements, and long diagonals. Progress is meant to be saved and continued across several visits.
Choose the first and last letter of each hidden word. Words may run forward, backward, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Complete all four levels—12, 15, 21, and 27 words—to earn one Sunday Dinner Star. Signed-in progress is saved automatically.Checking for saved progress…
