Thanksgiving Word Search
November is the month this puzzle is for. The words are the meal and the weekend around it: what leaves the oven, what is poured beside it, and the late garden still giving corn and fruit. You search a square of letters for each one. A letter may sit in two words, so a mark you have already made can be part of the next find. When the list is done, another grid is waiting on this same page. This browser keeps your place on each grid.

Rules and help
The list is the November table: the roast, the late fruit, and the people who come to eat.
How to play
In these puzzles, words may run across, down, or on a diagonal, and they may read forward or backward.
- Goal. Find every word on the list. Words are straight lines and may share letters.
- Drag. Press the first or last letter and drag to the other end. The highlight snaps to the nearest straight direction.
- Tap. Tap the start letter, then the end letter. The same snap applies.
- A miss. If those letters are not a listed word, the line clears. Nothing is deducted.
- Found. A match stays marked on the grid, and that word is crossed off the list.
- The list. Hide word list leaves the found count on screen. That choice applies to every word search and stays in this browser.
- Another puzzle. New puzzle, Previous, and Next stay on this page. Each grid keeps its own progress here.
- Print. Printing this page shows the grid and the full word list, without the site header.
- Done. The puzzle is complete when every word has been found. The banner appears once.

Tips
- The longest feast words are the easiest to spot; they have fewer places to hide.
- A letter you have already marked can still belong to a second word.
- Hide the list when you want a harder look. The found count stays either way.
Playing on a phone or tablet
Drag from one end of a word to the other. The page does not scroll while your finger is on the grid. You can also tap the first letter and then the last.
