Instructions: Find and circle the words from the list. Words may be forward, backward, vertical, or diagonal within the puzzle.

The words you need to find are listed on the right side of the puzzle. When you find a word in the puzzle, drag the word with the mouse to circle it.

Find all the words in the letter grid before your points fall to zero. If you give up searching for a word, click the Solve button next to the word. This circles the word in the grid for you.

When you find a word, cross it out by dragging your mouse across the letters of the word. Words can be forward, backward, or at a diagonal.

If you cannot find a word, use the Hint feature. Click the Hint button, and the first letter of one of the words in the word search flashes as your clue. You can only use this once.

This word search puzzle is not meant for Spanish-speakers only. It's also a fun variation for English speakers who want to try something different.

In case you are trying to learn Spanish, or if you're just curious, here are the meanings of the words in this word search:

adiós - goodbye alegre - happy casa - house catorce - fourteen docena - dozen electricidad - electricity entrada - entrance febrero - February helado - ice cream

huevo - egg jugo - juice lápiz - pencil morado - purple ocho - eight padre - father pescado - fish temprano - early verano - summer

When I was making this word search game, I selected these words at random from a Spanish dictionary. If you want, you can use the word list for a memory exercise. Try using the Keyword Method memory technique (substitute words, visualization, and association) to memorize the definitions of these Spanish words.

The more you practice the memory systems, the faster you'll get at using them. So whenever someone presents you with a list of Spanish, French, or even Chinese foreign vocabulary, for example, take a few minutes to use the techniques. You might not need to know the words for practical reasons, but committing a list of foreign vocabulary to memory is a really effective memory training exercise.

Anyway, word searches are one of my favorite types of puzzle. I hope you enjoyed this Spanish Word Search!

Word searches train visual perception and concentration. Solve puzzles like this often to give your brain a boost!
