Thanksgiving Word Search

A free Thanksgiving word search for the whole family. Every puzzle is new: find turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, cranberries and other words about the holiday of thanks. In the United States Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada on the second Monday of October. Play online on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the puzzle for the kids’ table, a class or a quiet evening after dinner.

✅ How to play

1. Choose a level. Easy is good for kids: 8 words in a 10 × 10 grid, only across and down. Medium adds diagonal words, and Hard hides 12 words in any direction, even backwards.
2. Find a word from the list and drag across it from the first letter to the last. On a phone, you can also tap the first letter and then the last one.
3. Found words are crossed out in the list. The timer shows how long the whole puzzle took you.
4. Press “New puzzle” for another set of words.

✅ Printable Thanksgiving word search

Press “Print” to get the puzzle on a page with the word list and lines for a name and date. “Answer key” prints the same puzzle with all the words marked. Want your own words, for example the names of everyone at your table? Turn them into a puzzle with the Word Search Maker.
