Daily Wordsearch
Simply find all of the words from the word list and mark them off in the Wordsearch grid. The words may appear horizontally, vertically, diagonally or even backwards. The leftover letters will make a mystery answer related to each Wordsearch puzzle’s title.
There are a few common strategies for solving Wordsearch:
- Go through the puzzle from left to right and look for the first letter of the word. After finding the letter, search the eight surrounding letters to see if the next letter of the word is there.
- Look for outstanding letters - those that pop out at you such as Q, Z, X etc.
- Look out for doubles – it is easier to spot two identical letters side-by-side within a large grid of random letters – eg. the double Ls and O’s in Balloon.
Scientific studies have shown that a daily burst of sustained mental activity – such as solving wordsearch puzzles - can help prevent memory loss and degenerative brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s – a very good reason to get your daily dose of puzzling fun at nzwomansweekly.co.nz.

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
