A word search is like a game of hide-and-seek on the page - and these 50 puzzles are also extra-special in lots of different ways. Firstly, these are 21-foot long and the grids aren't the usual squares; instead, they come in a range of cool shapes (like elephants, ice skates, or a ferris wheel) that relates to the puzzle's theme. Then, to add to the solving fun, some of the clues use pictures and symbols instead of words. Then, to top it off, every search also includes a hidden message or riddle in the unused letters of the grid.
