About this puzzle

This hard puzzle hides 18 ocean words in a 15×15 grid. Words can run in any of the eight directions — including backwards, upwards and diagonally upwards.

Ocean tip: Several ocean words repeat the same few letters — CURRENT and CURRENTS, SEAL and SEABREEZE. Once you find one, mark it mentally so you do not mistake it for its longer cousin.

Source: NOAA: about 97 percent of Earth's water is in the ocean. (About 97 percent of Earth's water is in the ocean.) NOAA Ocean Service: How much water is in the ocean?.
