Volume V Word Lab: 80 Themed Puzzles You Can Picture

Quick: what’s the Spanish word for dragonfly? If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. Most people learn mariposa (butterfly) early and never meet libélula at all.

Volume V: The Explorer is where Word Search Librito turns thematic. Every puzzle has a topic, such as Insects, Kitchen, Astronomy or Professions, so the words come in groups you can picture, point to or draw. That makes it a friendly place to start for newcomers and beginners.

What’s inside

• 80 themed puzzles across nearly 30 topics, from Colors and Months all the way to Quantum Mechanics.
• 11 pairs per puzzle, mostly concrete, picturable words.
• 17 × 15 grids with backwards words and accented letters throughout. The words are easy; finding them takes a sharp eye.
• Topics come back several times (five Astronomy puzzles, five Kitchen puzzles), so vocabulary gets reviewed naturally.
