Good to know about Geography word search
Every Geography puzzle on this page is free to play online and free to print as a PDF with its answer key, one by one. Only the optional booklet, all 18 puzzles bundled into one print-ready file, costs money.
Continents, Landforms and Bodies of Water are easy 10 by 10 puzzles with eight common words that read across and down, which suits ages 6 to 8.
Each hard puzzle has 18 words, so Countries of Africa, Countries of Asia and Countries of Europe each pick 18 well-known countries rather than the full list.
US Regions and Landmarks (hard) covers regions, ranges and places such as the Ozarks, Badlands, Sierra Nevada and Chesapeake Bay.
Easy puzzles (10 by 10, words across and down) work from about age 6. Medium puzzles (13 by 13, diagonals added) suit ages 8 to 11. Hard puzzles (16 by 16, every direction, backwards too) are for older kids and adults.
Page 2 of every PDF is the answer key, with each word marked where it hides. When you play online, the Show answers button marks them on the grid.
Every puzzle comes as a US Letter PDF (8.5 by 11 inches) and an A4 PDF (210 by 297 mm). Print at 100% or Actual size.
Every puzzle on this page plays in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer: drag or tap from the first to the last letter of a word. Nothing to install and no account.
