Enjoy the simple pleasure of classic word searches while building your vocabulary at the same time. With 500 vocabulary words crisscrossed throughout our large, easy-to-read puzzles, word sleuths of all ages can train their brain and "unplug" for awhile. Whether you're looking for a new twist on your favorite puzzles or need a fun way to boost your vocab skills for an upcoming test like the LSAT, GRE, or SAT - you'll find what you're looking for here (it just might be written backwards and diagonally). In a nutshell, we've taken proven educational learning methods and combined them with fun word puzzles to help expose you to new vocabulary words and their meanings. Trust us, you won't even realize you're studying vocabulary and hopefully you'll be trying a few out in conversation very soon! The book is divided into sections of 100 vocabulary words. Each of those sections has then been divided into five groups of twenty words. Whoa, whoa whoa - that's a lot of numbers and you're clearly more of a word person. We get it. Hang in there. It's really not too complicated. In order to learn each set of twenty words you'll solve two puzzles. The first word search puzzle has both the words and the definitions given to you. Reading through, searching for and circling the words will help your brain process the vocabulary list in multiple different ways to help it 'stick.' The second puzzle you'll solve has shuffled the order and only gives you the definitions. You'll have to fill in the blanks with the words yourself! This process of writing out the word when you are given the definition is a proven method to further help these new vocabulary words take root in your brain. If you get stuck, you can simply hunt for words in the search to jog your memory or flip back to the previous puzzle for guidance (no one will judge you, we promise). Through puzzle solving, repetition, the physical act of writing, and engagement we're confident this book will help you boost your vocabulary and push you down the path of becoming an even bigger nerd.
