A word search is like a game of hide-and-seek on the page—and these 50 puzzles are extra-special in lots of different ways. First, the grids aren’t the usual ho-hum squares; instead, each one comes in a cool shape (like an elephant, ice skate, or ferris wheel) that relates to the puzzle’s theme. Then, to add to the solving fun, some of the clues use rebuses instead of plain words. And, to top it off, every search also includes a hidden message or riddle in the unused letters of the grid.
