Questions

How many words are hidden in this Butterflies word search?
17 words are hidden in a 16 x 16 grid. 1 run diagonally and 1 are written backwards, so a word can start anywhere and go in any of eight directions.
How do I select a word on screen?
Drag across the word from its first letter to its last, or tap the first letter and then the last. Both work on a phone. A correct word stays highlighted and is struck through in the list beside the grid.
Is my progress saved if I close the tab?
Yes. Words you have found are kept in your browser against this puzzle, so you can come back to it. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
Can I print this word search instead?
Yes. The printable version has the same grid at three difficulties and prints with the answer key. Playing on screen never uses up your copy.
