Consult the "Word List" below. To solve the puzzle, search in all directions (forward, backward, and diagonal). Some letters will be used in more than one word. Once you locate a word on the puzzle, circle each one of its individual letters (not the word). Once you have found all the words, the left-over letters will reveal the hidden message.
