Santa Word Search Instructions

For many more free word searches you can print out on paper, see my word search printables page.

Instructions: Find and circle the words from the list. Words may be forward, backward, vertical, or diagonal within the puzzle.

The words you need to find are listed on the right side of the puzzle. When you find a word in the puzzle, drag the word with the mouse to circle it.

Find all the words in the letter grid before your points fall to zero. If you give up searching for a word, click the Solve button next to the word. This circles the word in the grid for you.

Note: The instructions below are for the old Adobe Flash version of the puzzle.

The words in the "Words left" list to the right of the word search are hidden in the puzzle. The words can be backwards, forwards, or at an angle.

When you find a word, highlight it by dragging the letters of the word with your mouse. A blue line appears through the word and it disappears from your list.

If you get stuck, click the "Hint" button. The first letter of one of the words will flash on the puzzle. The hint feature can only be used once.

Word searches are one of my favorite kinds of puzzle. I hope you have fun with this Santa-themed one.

Enjoy!

Santa Claus Facts

A FEW FACTS ABOUT SANTA. After you finish the Santa Word Search puzzle, check out these interesting facts about Santa from Wikipedia:

  • Santa Claus is a legendary figure in many Western cultures who brings gifts to the homes of good children during the overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24 or on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day).

  • Some other names for him are Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, and Kris Kringle.

  • The legend may have as its basis tales of historical gift giver Saint Nicholas, a saint and Greek Bishop of Myrna (in modern Turkey) who lived AD 270 through December 6th, AD 346.

    He had a reputation for generous gifts to the poor and for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him.

  • The reliquary of St. Nicholas was desecrated by Italian sailors in 1087, and his relics taken to Bari where they are kept to this day.

  • Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of many diverse groups, from archers, sailors, and children to pawnbrokers. He is also the patron saint of both Amsterdam and Moscow.
