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
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
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, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
