How to Solve a Word Path Grid Puzzle
A word path grid puzzle is similar to a word search, but each word is hidden in a square within a grid. Your job is to find and mark each hidden word in the grid.
Inside a square in the puzzle, you will find the letters of a single word arranged in such a way that each letter connects to the next letter in the word either horizontally or vertically.
Your job is to figure out the word and then draw out the path that the word takes.

Puzzle Solutions
I intentionally do not make answers to the printable math puzzles I share on my blog available online because I strive to provide learning experiences for my students that are non-google-able. I would like other teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms as well without the solutions being easily found on the Internet.
However, I do recognize that us teachers are busy people and sometimes need to quickly reference an answer key to see if a student has solved a puzzle correctly or to see if they have interpreted the instructions properly.
If you are a teacher who is using these puzzles in your classroom, please send me an email at sarah@mathequalslove.net with information about what you teach and where you teach. I will be happy to forward an answer key to you.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, as fun activities in their workplace, or as a birthday party escape room.
