Word Search Puzzle

I’ve really enjoyed the puzzles submitted by other GoYers so thought I would try my hand too :)

This is a normal word search, garden plants but with 3 ‘stingers’ included! Words go in all directions, backwards, forwards, up, down and diagonally. If you need some help I will include a list of words to be found. There are 34 in all.

SORRY FOLKS! I’ve just noticed an error – the V in the 8th row, 7 down, should be an N – whoops (in too much of a hurry to get to bowls!)

Hope you enjoy it, Sticki, and that it's not too easy! I am just off to bowls but will check in again when I get home just after 10pm :)

11 Jan, 2011

 

i will have a go to Gee when i get chance, i can see a stinger already lol ;o)

11 Jan, 2011

 

Ooh, thank you Gee! :-)

11 Jan, 2011

 

ive got 20 so far ~ have to go to watch silent witness ~ going to try to multi task??

11 Jan, 2011

 

I have only got 16 so far....going a bit bogged eyed looking ha ha ha

11 Jan, 2011

 

you back yet gee ~ did you win?
ive got 25 i think but only one on a diagonal??

11 Jan, 2011

 

Hi Gee just seen your puzzle, but a little late now so will give it a go tomorrow, just dont know what stingers mean?

11 Jan, 2011

 

i think it means they are hard!!?

11 Jan, 2011

 

I hope it means what can sting YOU! That's what I've found. : o ))

11 Jan, 2011

 

I wondered if it meant really difficult or like you Shirley ones that sting you lol

11 Jan, 2011

 

Please see note added above re: mistake (red face!)

You're right about the stingers, Shirley!
I've just got back, Sticki, had two good games of bowls and won both!! An extra bonus was that Millie was very good at home - she is not keen on being left so I have to make sure there is nothing vital that she can chew. There are at least 2 diagonal words (can't remember exactly!). I think you are all doing well without the word list to tick off :)

11 Jan, 2011

 

Oh no! I've just sent mine via PM and then read your amendment! Really can't look any more so my 32 will be my limit. Well done on winning the bowls! : o )) PS to this comment, since you made the change I've added another!

11 Jan, 2011

 

Going to have a go tomorrow Gee...though I've spied a few already....:o) Have just watched the end of Silent witness Sticki...it is sooooo gruesome and scary, but still had to see it....:o((

11 Jan, 2011

 

Shirley did brilliantly, missing only two but finding one I didn't know was there :)
I will watch Silent Witness tomorrow on BBC iplayer - not so scary during the day :)

11 Jan, 2011

 

Woohoo ... I can go to bed feeling a right 'clever-clogs' now then ... lol! Loved doing this while OH was watching footie ... yawn ... goodnight all. zzzzzz

11 Jan, 2011

 

Thanks for the spelling correction Gee. I had it on a "query" list. The stingers don't seem to be plants, at least I can't find "nettle", but I have three things that would sting....

11 Jan, 2011

 

i found a couple of biters!? still got a few to go tho!
oh and something that jumps ~ does that count?

12 Jan, 2011

 

I've done the accross and down ones. I'll do the diagonals tonight :o)
Then I'll send what I've found.

12 Jan, 2011

 

Sticki, you have found 2 more plants that I didn't know were there + another 'stinger'. I wonder what your 'jumper' is? I have pm'd you :)

12 Jan, 2011

 

I've just printed it off, will do it at leisure.Gee do you want us to PM our answers to you, !!! its exciting, just like being back at school.

12 Jan, 2011

 

That will be fine, Yorkshire. Have you seen my error note added to the end of the blog? There are also 3 extra plant names that have been found by Sticki and Shirley too :)

12 Jan, 2011

 

I saw the error Gee, o.k three extras, trust sticki and shirley to come up with them,

12 Jan, 2011

 

LOL, Yorkshire! Explain that comment please, are you suggesting we are trying to be Teacher's Pets ? : o ))

12 Jan, 2011

 

i thought it was more like 3 i got wrong!!
do you need some clues yorkie?

12 Jan, 2011

 

stop bullying me you two, Its giving me a headache, I have 14 so far, I suppose you two have all of them,

12 Jan, 2011

 

nope! im stuck now.
have several more to look for and make tea and wash up and iron and hoover and dust and polish and read a book and feed the cat and answer my emails and .......fall asleep

12 Jan, 2011

 

what have you been doing all day Sticki. !!!

12 Jan, 2011

 

the word search of course!

12 Jan, 2011

 

Lol.

12 Jan, 2011

 

I managed to find 32 before my eyes had had enough! Keep at it Yorkshire, you'll find them all soon. : o ))

12 Jan, 2011

 

32, i will be up all night,

12 Jan, 2011

 

how long have we got ~ till next week?

12 Jan, 2011

 

Thanks for the puzzle Gee, I`ve copied and pasted it into a file so I can do it later. I buy word search books all the time so I`ll enjoy this. :o)

12 Jan, 2011

 

Take as long as you like - no rush :)

12 Jan, 2011

 

Hi Gee have got 29 now including the Stngers, the only problem Ive had is my printer is broken so I have had to copy your graph by hand I maybe able to paint a good picture but hopeless at drawing straight lines even with a ruler, so giving my eyes a rest from all the wavy linesl ol will look again tomorrow;0)

12 Jan, 2011

 

Gee i do apologize, my pm to you has made its own wordsearch in return, I have no idea how I did it, somewhere between writing and sending, will send again if requested.... Sue....

13 Jan, 2011

 

still on 14, just going to have another go, glad we can take as long as we want to, has anyone got all of them yet, if you have then I would like to be your best friend,!!!

13 Jan, 2011

 

You already have a BF I believe, Yorkshire! No good trying to find another to help you out ... lol! On the other hand ... what's it worth to PM you with some answers ? : o )))))))

13 Jan, 2011

 

I.m easily bought Shirley Dearest, you want to be my BF.xxx

13 Jan, 2011

 

Laughed out loud at that comment, Yorkshire and OH thinks I've lost the plot now! He's watching footie on TV and isn't interested in what I'm doing on here. I could be viewing just about anything for all he knows! : o )

13 Jan, 2011

 

Thanks Gee, I still haven`t worked out what happened with my lists, going to ask my daughter tonight otherwise It might happen again...Duh......

13 Jan, 2011

 

sent you a PM Shirley.

13 Jan, 2011

 

If anyone would like the list so they know what they're looking for I could pm it or post it on here? On the other hand, I don't want to spoil your fun :)

I don't think anyone has got the whole lot in one go. Lincslass is in a class of her own - Not only did she find lots of the plants but also 29 random words but managed to miss Sticki's Russian!

13 Jan, 2011

 

I saw Russian but couldn't find Vine to go with it . . . . . hmm . . . off for another look!

13 Jan, 2011

 

I've seen Russian also, Lindclass found 29 others, looks like we are set in for the rest of the winter, I just spotted Tool,

13 Jan, 2011

 

There isn't a vine, Shirley. The Russian just crept in when I wasn't looking :)

13 Jan, 2011

 

Those Russians ... they get everywhere undercover!

13 Jan, 2011

 

nice one Shirley.

13 Jan, 2011

 

: o )))

13 Jan, 2011

 

Gee just found the last three;0)))

13 Jan, 2011

 

Well done Pansypotter and everyone who found all the words, plus extras. I gave up with 32 words. Gee didn't approve my small list of "possibles" - I WAS trying it on!

13 Jan, 2011

 

Well done, PP - No, Beattie, Bananna and Poaeny certainly didn't count as miss-spelled plant names :)

13 Jan, 2011

 

lol, I spotted those two but it went against the grain to try them, thats how I got nanna...

13 Jan, 2011

 

well done Pp, clever you, I am up to 22 so far, have another try later today.
