What words are in the spring word search?
The spring list is about thaw, buds, showers, nests and longer daylight — garden and weather English rather than one holiday mascot set.
The full spring word bank has 60 words. Each puzzle picks a set from this list, so no two grids are quite the same:
AIR · APRIL · BEE · BIRCH · BLOOM · BLOSSOM · BREEZE · BUD · BUTTERFLY · CHICK · CHORUS · CLOUD · CROCUSES · DAFFODIL · DAWN · DAYLIGHT · DEW · EQUINOX · FOAL · FRESH · GARDEN · GREEN · HONEY · HOPE · HYACINTH · LAMB · LAWN · LEAF · LIGHT · MARCH · MAY · MEADOW · MIGRATION · MIST · MUD · NEST · OPEN · PATH · POLLEN · QUIET · RAIN · REBIRTH · RENEWAL · ROBIN · SEED · SHOOT · SHOWER · SKY · SOFT · SONG · SPRING · SPROUT · SUNLIGHT · THAW · TULIP · WALK · WARMTH · WILLOW · WINDOW · WREN
Who is this theme good for?
March to May mornings, garden clubs and anyone who wants a seasonal puzzle that is not Easter-only.
A solving tip
Flower names share endings; when you find DIL in DAFFODIL, check nearby for related blooms before moving on.
How these puzzles work
Every puzzle is free and plays in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Drag across a word, or tap its first and last letter. Easy grids are 10×10 with words across and down; medium grids are 12×12 and add diagonals; hard grids are 15×15 with words in all eight directions. Press Large print above any grid for bigger letters. Progress is saved on your device, and there is never a timer. New to word searches? Read how to play.

Word lists on Words at Rest use American English spelling (for example color, not colour). Merriam-Webster records colour as chiefly the British spelling of color. Merriam-Webster: colour.
