Cats puzzles
What words are in the cats word search?
The cats list is soft and domestic: kittens, purrs, whiskers, sunbeams, windowsills, yarn and cushions, plus coat patterns like tabby and calico and a few breeds such as Siamese and Persian.
The full cats word bank has 40 words. Each puzzle picks a set from this list, so no two grids are quite the same:
BIRD · BLANKET · BOWL · CALICO · CLAW · CLIMB · COZY · CURIOUS · CURTAIN · CUSHION · FELINE · GINGER · HUNT · KITTEN · LAP · LAZY · LEAP · LITTER · MEOW · MOUSE · NAP · NEST · PAW · PERSIAN · PURR · SCRATCH · SHELF · SIAMESE · SOFT · SPOT · STRETCH · STRIPE · SUNBEAM · TABBY · TAIL · TREAT · WARM · WHISKER · WINDOWSILL · YARN
Who is this theme good for?
Perfect for a slow evening on the sofa — with or without a cat on your lap. The words are short to medium length, which makes the easy grid especially relaxing.
A solving tip
WINDOWSILL is the longest word in the bank and contains a rare “WS” pair. When it is in your puzzle, find it first; it often anchors one side of the grid and helps you rule out letters around it.
