16-letter Puzzle
How to Start
The puzzle is to find words hidden in the square. Start anywhere and by going from letter to letter – up, down or diagonally – make words of three letters or more. You may not visit the same letter square twice in a word. No proper nouns (countries, brands etc), foreigh words, personal names, trade names, slang words or really archaic words like poltroon. There is a sixteen-letter word in there too.
I made this up and so far have found forty-five words hidden here. Perhaps you will find more? You could also turn it into a
competition with a friend. How many words can each of you find? Do you agree that a 16-letter puzzle is a bit more
interesting than the traditional 9-letter one?
Here are the forty-five words:
