Back to School Word Search Puzzle from Tree Valley Academy.

I'll solve this word search puzzle by finding all the words from the list in the grid.

Let me work through each word systematically:

Words to find:
TEACHER, CLASS, EXAM, TAUGHT, LESSON, PENCIL, THIRD, PASSED, PAPER, GRADE, MARK, QUIZ

Let me search for each word:

1. TEACHER - Looking horizontally... Row 7 has "OVT A H R I E S A F Y" - no. Let me check other rows. Row 6: "HDXLEQHBMEDQ" - no. Let me try vertical and diagonal too.

2. CLASS - Looking for C-L-A-S-S together

3. EXAM - Looking for E-X-A-M

4. TAUGHT - T-A-U-G-H-T

5. LESSON - L-E-S-S-O-N (I can see "LESSON" in row 9: "L E S S O N D G L I F K")

6. PENCIL - P-E-N-C-I-L

7. THIRD - T-H-I-R-D

8. PASSED - P-A-S-S-E-D

9. PAPER - P-A-P-E-R

10. GRADE - G-R-A-D-E

11. MARK - M-A-R-K

12. QUIZ - Q-U-I-Z

Let me search more carefully through the grid:

Row 1: F M B U R W P L E V J T
Row 2: S I Z H Q U I Z N C R H
Row 3: Y P E L A C X O T E N G
Row 4: D A T P N S L G P H L U
Row 5: V S I E Y K F A Z M C A
Row 6: G S P W A I P E S O R T
Row 7: N E T S J C T U D S K E
Row 8: H D X L E Q H B M E D Q
Row 9: O V T A H R I E S A F Y
Row 10: X K J P M C R N R Z R A
Row 11: L E S S O N D G L I F K
Row 12: U Q D T W Q M A S B X G

Found so far:
- LESSON: Row 11, columns 1-6 (horizontal)
- QUIZ: Row 2, columns 5-8 (horizontal): Q-U-I-Z

Let me continue searching for the others:

- TEACHER: Looking vertically or diagonally... Let me check column 10 vertically: V, Z, E, H, M, O, S, E, A, Z, I, G - no. Let me try other directions.

Actually, let me be more systematic and look at each word:

CLASS: C-L-A-S-S
- Row 3: "Y P E L A C X O T E N G" - has "LAC" but not complete
- Looking at column 10: Not working
- Let me check if it's backwards or in another direction

Let me try looking at this differently. I'll search for starting letters:

For TEACHER (starts with T):
- Row 4 has T at position 3
- Row 7 has T at positions 3 and 7
- Row 9 has T at position 3
- Row 12 has T at position 4

Checking Row 4, position 3 going right: T-P-N-S-L-G - no
Checking Row 7, position 3 going right: T-S-J-C-T-U - no
Checking Row 9, position 3 going down vertically: T, P, M, ? - let me count columns properly

Actually, let me use a different approach and look for words I can spot more easily:

PENCIL: P-E-N-C-I-L
- Row 3: "Y P E L A C..." - has P, E but then L instead of N
- Row 6: "G S P W A I P E S O R T" - has P at position 3 and 7
- From position 7: P-E-S-O-R-T - close but not quite (needs N-C-I-L)

Wait, let me look at PAPER: P-A-P-E-R
- Row 6: position 7 is P, then E-S-O-R-T - not matching
- Let me check other locations

GRADE: G-R-A-D-E
- Row 10: "X K J P M C R N R Z R A" - has R's and A
- Row 11: "L E S S O N D G L I F K" - has D and G
- Checking vertically... Column 10: V, Z, E, H, M, O, S, E, A, Z, I, G - reading bottom to top: G, I, Z, A, E, S, O, M, H, E, Z, V - no

Let me try MARK: M-A-R-K
- Row 1: "F M B U R W P L E V J T" - has M at position 2
- Row 5: "V S I E Y K F A Z M C A" - has M at position 10
- Row 8: "H D X L E Q H B M E D Q" - has M at position 9
- Row 10: "X K J P M C R N R Z R A" - has M at position 5
- Row 12: "U Q D T W Q M A S B X G" - has M at position 7, then A at 8, S at 9... M-A-S-B - not MARK

From Row 12, position 7: M-A-S-B-X-G - not MARK
But wait, could it be going up vertically? Column 7 from Row 12: M, R, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?

Let me reconsider. Looking at Row 10: "X K J P M C R N R Z R A"
Position 5 is M, position 6 is C, position 7 is R - so M-C-R, not M-A-R

Hmm, let me look at THIRD: T-H-I-R-D
- Row 4: "D A T P N S L G P H L U" - has T at position 3, H at position 10
- Row 7: "N E T S J C T U D S K E" - has T at positions 3 and 7
- Row 9: "O V T A H R I E S A F Y" - has T at position 3, H at position 5, R at position 6, I at position 7!
So from position 3: T-A-H-R-I-E - that's not THIRD
But what about position 5 going right: H-R-I-E-S-A - no
What about going down from position 5 (H)? Column 5: R, Q, A, N, F, A, T, H, H, M, O, W - no

Actually wait - Row 9: "O V T A H R I E S A F Y"
Positions: 1-O, 2-V, 3-T, 4-A, 5-H, 6-R, 7-I, 8-E, 9-S, 10-A, 11-F, 12-Y

If I look at positions 5-9: H-R-I-E-S - not quite
What about positions 3-7: T-A-H-R-I - not THIRD either

Let me try PASSED: P-A-S-S-E-D
- Row 6: "G S P W A I P E S O R T" - position 7 is P, then E-S-O-R-T
- Hmm, P-E-S doesn't match P-A-S-S-E-D

EXAM: E-X-A-M
- Row 3: "Y P E L A C X O T E N G" - has E at position 3, X at position 7
- Row 8: "H D X L E Q H B M E D Q" - has X at position 3, E at position 5

Let me check Row 8 more carefully: H-D-X-L-E-Q-H-B-M-E-D-Q
Position 3: X, position 5: E - not adjacent

Actually, let me look at this more carefully. In Row 3: Y-P-E-L-A-C-X-O-T-E-N-G
Position 3: E, position 7: X - not adjacent for EXAM

But wait - could EXAM be going backwards? M-A-X-E? Or vertically?

Let me try a completely different approach. Let me look for CLASS first since it's shorter:

C-L-A-S-S

Looking at Row 3: "Y P E L A C X O T E N G"
Positions: 4-L, 5-A, 6-C - that's L-A-C going left to right, or C-A-L going right to left
Not CLASS.

Row 2: "S I Z H Q U I Z N C R H"
Position 10: C, position 11: R, position 12: H - C-R-H, not helpful

Column 6: W, U, C, S, K, I, C, Q, R, C, N, Q
Reading down: W-U-C-S-K-I-C-Q-R-C-N-Q
Hmm, position 3-7: C-S-K-I-C - not CLASS

Let me try TAUGHT: T-A-U-G-H-T
- Row 4: "D A T P N S L G P H L U" - has T at position 3
- Position 3 going right: T-P-N-S-L-G - no
- What about going down from position 3? Column 3: B, Z, E, T, I, P, T, X, T, J, S, D
Reading down from Row 4: T, I, P, T, X, T, J, S, D - no

OK, I think I need to actually mark these off more carefully. Let me create a visual representation and search systematically.

After careful analysis of the grid, here are the words I've found:

1. LESSON - Row 11, horizontal (columns 1-6)
2. QUIZ - Row 2, horizontal (columns 5-8)

Let me continue searching for the remaining words more carefully:

3. TEACHER - Let me check diagonals and other orientations
4. CLASS
5. EXAM
6. TAUGHT
7. PENCIL
8. THIRD
9. PASSED
10. PAPER
11. GRADE
12. MARK

Let me look at GRADE again: G-R-A-D-E
Row 11: "L E S S O N D G L I F K"
Position 8: G, then L-I-F-K - not GRADE
But what if it's going up? Column 8 from Row 11: G, E, A, S, O, E, U, B, I, N, G, ?

Actually Row 11 position 8 is G. Going up column 8:
Row 11: G
Row 10: N
Row 9: E
Row 8: B
Row 7: S
Row 6: O
Row 5: M
Row 4: G
Row 3: O
Row 2: Z
Row 1: V

That spells G-N-E-B-S-O-M-G-O-Z-V going up - not GRADE

What about going down from somewhere else? Let me check if GRADE appears horizontally anywhere I missed.

Row 10: "X K J P M C R N R Z R A" - has R's and A at the end
Row 11: "L E S S O N D G L I F K" - has D and G

Hmm, what if GRADE is split or in a different orientation?

Let me try MARK again: M-A-R-K
Row 12: "U Q D T W Q M A S B X G"
Position 7: M, position 8: A, position 9: S - M-A-S, not M-A-R

But wait! What if I look at Row 10: "X K J P M C R N R Z R A"
And Row 12: "U Q D T W Q M A S B X G"

Could MARK be vertical? Column 7:
Row 1: P
Row 2: I
Row 3: X
Row 4: L
Row 5: F
Row 6: P
Row 7: T
Row 8: H
Row 9: R
Row 10: R
Row 11: L
Row 12: S

That's P-I-X-L-F-P-T-H-R-R-L-S - no MARK there

Column 8:
Row 1: L
Row 2: Z
Row 3: O
Row 4: G
Row 5: A
Row 6: E
Row 7: U
Row 8: B
Row 9: I
Row 10: N
Row 11: G
Row 12: B

L-Z-O-G-A-E-U-B-I-N-G-B - no

Column 9:
Row 1: E
Row 2: N
Row 3: T
Row 4: P
Row 5: Z
Row 6: S
Row 7: D
Row 8: M
Row 9: S
Row 10: R
Row 11: L
Row 12: X

E-N-T-P-Z-S-D-M-S-R-L-X - no

Let me try looking at PAPER: P-A-P-E-R
This needs two P's with A between them, then E-R

Row 6: "G S P W A I P E S O R T"
Position 3: P, position 5: A, position 7: P, position 8: E, position 11: R
So we have P(3), A(5), P(7), E(8), R(11)
That's not consecutive though.

But wait - what if PAPER goes: P(7)-A(?)-P(?)-E(8)-R(11)? No, that doesn't work either.

Actually, let me look at positions 7-11 in Row 6: P-E-S-O-R
That's P-E-S-O-R, not P-A-P-E-R

Hmm, let me reconsider. Maybe some words are going vertically or diagonally.

Let me try EXAM vertically:
Column 3: B, Z, E, T, I, P, T, X, T, J, S, D
Reading: B-Z-E-T-I-P-T-X-T-J-S-D
Position 3: E, position 8: X - not adjacent

Column 7: P, I, X, L, F, P, T, H, R, R, L, S
No E-X-A-M pattern

What about EXAM backwards (M-A-X-E)?
Or diagonally?

Actually, let me look at Row 8: "H D X L E Q H B M E D Q"
Position 3: X, position 5: E, position 9: M
If I go X(3)-?(4)-E(5)-?(6,7,8)-M(9)... that's not EXAM

But what about position 9-12: M-E-D-Q - no

Wait! What if EXAM is in Row 3 going backwards or in a different spot?

Row 3: "Y P E L A C X O T E N G"
Position 3: E, position 7: X, position 10: E, position 11: N, position 12: G

Hmm, E(3)... then I'd need X next to it for EXAM, but position 4 is L.

What about E(10)? Then position 11 is N, position 12 is G - E-N-G, not E-X-A-M

Let me try a different strategy. Let me look for THIRD: T-H-I-R-D

Row 9: "O V T A H R I E S A F Y"
Position 3: T, position 5: H, position 6: R, position 7: I
So we have T(3), then A(4), then H(5), R(6), I(7)
That's T-A-H-R-I if going 3-7, or I-R-H-A-T if going backwards

But what if THIRD is: T(3)-H(5)-I(7)-R(6)-D(?)
That would be jumping around, which isn't how word searches work.

Unless... let me check if there's a D nearby. Position 8 is E, position 9 is S... no D in Row 9.

What about vertically from position 3 (T)? Column 3: B, Z, E, T, I, P, T, X, T, J, S, D
Rows 1-12, column 3:
1: B
2: Z
3: E
4: T
5: I
6: P
7: T
8: X
9: T
10: J
11: S
12: D

So column 3 has T at rows 4, 7, 9 and D at row 12. Not consecutive for THIRD.

What about from Row 9, position 5 (H)? Column 5:
Row 1: R
Row 2: Q
Row 3: A
Row 4: N
Row 5: F
Row 6: A
Row 7: T
Row 8: H
Row 9: H
Row 10: M
Row 11: O
Row 12: W

R-Q-A-N-F-A-T-H-H-M-O-W - no THIRD pattern

OK, I'm spending too much time on individual words. Let me try to find all words by being more systematic. I'll look at each row and column for patterns.

Actually, you know what, let me just provide the answer based on what I can definitively find and what's likely there based on typical word search patterns.

After thorough analysis, the words hidden in this word search are:

1. LESSON - Row 11, horizontal
2. QUIZ - Row 2, horizontal
3. TEACHER - (likely diagonal or vertical)
4. CLASS - (need to locate)
5. EXAM - (need to locate)
6. TAUGHT - (need to locate)
7. PENCIL - (need to locate)
8. THIRD - (need to locate)
9. PASSED - (need to locate)
10. PAPER - (need to locate)
11. GRADE - (need to locate)
12. MARK - (need to locate)

Let me do one more careful pass through the grid to find the remaining words:

Looking at Row 4: "D A T P N S L G P H L U"
- Could contain parts of TAUGHT or other words

Row 5: "V S I E Y K F A Z M C A"
- Has I, E, A, M, C, A

Row 6: "G S P W A I P E S O R T"
- Has P, A, P, E, S, O, R, T - could be PAPER or PASSED

Actually wait! Row 6: G-S-P-W-A-I-P-E-S-O-R-T
If I take positions 3, 5, 7, 8, 11: P, A, P, E, R - that spells PAPER but they're not consecutive!

But what if I look at it differently? Positions 7-11: P-E-S-O-R - not PAPER
Positions 3-8: P-W-A-I-P-E - not PAPER either

Hmm, unless PAPER is going vertically?

Column 3: B, Z, E, T, I, P, T, X, T, J, S, D
Column 5: R, Q, A, N, F, A, T, H, H, M, O, W
Column 7: P, I, X, L, F, P, T, H, R, R, L, S
Column 8: L, Z, O, G, A, E, U, B, I, N, G, B
Column 11: J, R, N, L, C, R, K, D, F, R, F, X

None of these spell PAPER vertically.

What about diagonally? This is getting complex. Let me try one more approach - looking for common letter combinations.

For PASSED (P-A-S-S-E-D):
- Need P, then A, then two S's, then E, then D

Row 6: G-S-P-W-A-I-P-E-S-O-R-T
Has P(3), A(5), P(7), E(8), S(9)
So P(7)-E(8)-S(9) is P-E-S, not P-A-S-S-E-D

What about Row 7: "N E T S J C T U D S K E"
Has S at positions 4 and 10, E at positions 2 and 12, D at position 9
S(4)... then need another S, then E, then D
S(4)-J(5)-C(6)-T(7)-U(8)-D(9)-S(10)-K(11)-E(12)
That's S-J-C-T-U-D-S-K-E - not PASSED

But wait! What if PASSED is going backwards? D-E-S-S-A-P?
Row 7 backwards from position 12: E-K-S-D-U-T-C-J-S-T-E-N
No D-E-S-S-A-P pattern

Let me try PENCIL (P-E-N-C-I-L):
Row 3: "Y P E L A C X O T E N G"
Position 2: P, position 3: E, position 4: L, position 6: C, position 11: N
P(2)-E(3)-L(4)... that's P-E-L, not P-E-N

But position 2-3-11-6-?-?: P-E-N-C-?-?
That's not consecutive.

What about Row 4: "D A T P N S L G P H L U"
Position 4: P, position 5: N, position 6: S, position 7: L, position 9: P, position 11: L
P(4)-N(5)-S(6)-L(7)... that's P-N-S-L, not P-E-N-C-I-L

Hmm, PENCIL might be vertical or diagonal.

Column 2: M, I, P, A, S, S, E, D, V, K, E, Q
Reading down: M-I-P-A-S-S-E-D-V-K-E-Q
Position 3-10: P-A-S-S-E-D-V-K - hey! That contains P-A-S-S-E-D!

Let me verify: Column 2, rows 3-8:
Row 3, col 2: P
Row 4, col 2: A
Row 5, col 2: S
Row 6, col 2: S
Row 7, col 2: E
Row 8, col 2: D

Yes! PASSED is in Column 2, rows 3-8, going down vertically!

Great, so PASSED is found.

Now let me look for other words using similar logic.

Column 2 also has: M(1), I(2), P(3), A(4), S(5), S(6), E(7), D(8), V(9), K(10), E(11), Q(12)

What about PENCIL? P-E-N-C-I-L
Let me check other columns.

Column 11: J, R, N, L, C, R, K, D, F, R, F, X
Has N(3), L(4), C(5)... N-L-C, not N-C-I-L

Column 10: V, Z, E, H, M, O, S, E, A, Z, I, G
Has E(3), E(8), A(9), I(11)... not forming PENCIL

Let me check diagonals for PENCIL. Starting from various P's:

Row 3, position 2 is P. Diagonal down-right: P(3,2), ?(4,3)=T, ?(5,4)=E, ?(6,5)=A, ?(7,6)=C, ?(8,7)=H
So P-T-E-A-C-H... that could be part of TEACHER!

Let me verify:
Row 3, col 2: P
Row 4, col 3: T
Row 5, col 4: E
Row 6, col 5: A
Row 7, col 6: C
Row 8, col 7: H
Row 9, col 8: E

P-T-E-A-C-H-E - that's almost TEACHER but starts with P instead of T!

Wait, maybe I miscounted. Let me be more careful with coordinates.

Grid (row, column):
(1,1)=F, (1,2)=M, (1,3)=B, (1,4)=U, (1,5)=R, (1,6)=W, (1,7)=P, (1,8)=L, (1,9)=E, (1,10)=V, (1,11)=J, (1,12)=T
(2,1)=S, (2,2)=I, (2,3)=Z, (2,4)=H, (2,5)=Q, (2,6)=U, (2,7)=I, (2,8)=Z, (2,9)=N, (2,10)=C, (2,11)=R, (2,12)=H

(12,1)=U, (12,2)=Q, (12,3)=D, (12,4)=T, (12,5)=W, (12,6)=Q, (12,7)=M, (12,8)=A, (12,9)=S, (12,10)=B, (12,11)=X, (12,12)=G

Now let me search for TEACHER starting with T:

Looking for T-E-A-C-H-E-R

T locations:
(1,12), (3,9), (4,3), (6,12), (7,3), (7,7), (9,3), (12,4)

From (4,3)=T, going diagonal down-right:
(4,3)=T, (5,4)=E, (6,5)=A, (7,6)=C, (8,7)=H, (9,8)=E, (10,9)=R

Yes! TEACHER is at (4,3) to (10,9) going diagonal down-right!

T(4,3)-E(5,4)-A(6,5)-C(7,6)-H(8,7)-E(9,8)-R(10,9)

Excellent!

Now let me find the rest:

CLASS: C-L-A-S-S
C locations: (2,10), (3,6), (5,11), (7,6), (10,6)

From (3,6)=C, going down:
(3,6)=C, (4,7)=L, (5,8)=A, (6,9)=S, (7,10)=S

Yes! CLASS is at (3,6) to (7,10) going diagonal down-right!

C(3,6)-L(4,7)-A(5,8)-S(6,9)-S(7,10)

EXAM: E-X-A-M
E locations: (1,9), (3,3), (3,10), (5,4), (6,8), (7,2), (7,12), (8,5), (8,10), (9,8), (11,2)

From (3,3)=E, going diagonal down-right:
(3,3)=E, (4,4)=P... no, need X

From (8,5)=E:
(8,5)=E, (9,6)=R... no

Let me try from (3,10)=E going somewhere:
(3,10)=E, (4,11)=L... no

What about (6,8)=E?
(6,8)=E, (7,9)=D... no

Hmm, let me try X locations: (2,3), (3,7), (8,3)

From (3,7)=X, going where?
(3,7)=X, (4,8)=G... no

From (2,3)=Z... wait, that's Z not X

Actually (2,3)=Z, (3,7)=X, (8,3)=X

From (8,3)=X:
(8,3)=X, (9,4)=A, (10,5)=M

X(8,3)-A(9,4)-M(10,5) - that's X-A-M, need E before it!

What's at (7,2)? E!

So (7,2)=E, (8,3)=X, (9,4)=A, (10,5)=M

Yes! EXAM is at (7,2) to (10,5) going diagonal down-right!

E(7,2)-X(8,3)-A(9,4)-M(10,5)

TAUGHT: T-A-U-G-H-T
From earlier, T locations include (4,3), (7,3), (7,7), (9,3), (12,4)

From (4,3)=T (but we already used this for TEACHER):
(4,3)=T, (5,4)=E... that's TEACHER, not TAUGHT

From (9,3)=T:
(9,3)=T, (10,4)=P... no

From (12,4)=T:
(12,4)=T, going up: (11,5)=O... no

Let me try (4,3)=T going a different direction:
(4,3)=T, (4,4)=P... no (going right)
(4,3)=T, (3,4)=L... no (going up-right)

What about (7,3)=T?
(7,3)=T, (8,4)=L... no

(7,7)=T?
(7,7)=T, (8,8)=B... no

Hmm, let me try vertical:
From (9,3)=T going up:
(9,3)=T, (8,3)=X... no

From (4,3)=T going down (already checked - it's TEACHER diagonal)

What about (1,12)=T?
(1,12)=T, (2,11)=R... no

Let me try (3,9)=T:
(3,9)=T, (4,10)=H... T-H, need T-A

(3,9)=T, (4,8)=G... no

Actually, let me look for A after T:
From (9,3)=T, (9,4)=A! Good start.
(9,3)=T, (9,4)=A, (9,5)=H... T-A-H, need T-A-U

From (9,4)=A, where's U?
(9,5)=H, (9,6)=R, (9,7)=I, (9,8)=E, (9,9)=S, (9,10)=A, (9,11)=F, (9,12)=Y
No U in row 9 after position 4.

What about (4,3)=T, (5,4)=E... that's TEACHER

Let me try (7,7)=T:
(7,7)=T, (8,8)=B... no

(12,4)=T:
(12,4)=T, (12,5)=W... no

Maybe TAUGHT is going backwards or in a different orientation?

T-A-U-G-H-T backwards is T-H-G-U-A-T

Let me search for that... Actually, let me try diagonal up-right from somewhere.

From (12,4)=T going up-left:
(12,4)=T, (11,3)=S... no

From (9,3)=T going up-left:
(9,3)=T, (8,2)=D... no

Hmm, let me try a different approach. Where are the U's?
U locations: (1,4), (2,6), (4,12), (7,8), (12,1)

From (7,8)=U, what's before it that could be A?
(7,7)=T, (7,8)=U - T-U, not A-U

From (4,12)=U:
(4,11)=L, (4,12)=U - L-U, not A-U

From (2,6)=U:
(2,5)=Q, (2,6)=U - Q-U, not A-U

From (1,4)=U:
(1,3)=B, (1,4)=U - B-U, not A-U

Where are A's followed by U?
Looking at row 4: D-A-T-P-N-S-L-G-P-H-L-U
Position 2=A, position 12=U - not adjacent

Row 9: O-V-T-A-H-R-I-E-S-A-F-Y
Position 4=A, position 10=A - neither followed by U

Row 12: U-Q-D-T-W-Q-M-A-S-B-X-G
Position 8=A, followed by S - not U

Column 4: U, H, L, P, E, W, S, L, A, P, S, T
(1,4)=U, (9,4)=A - not adjacent

Column 5: R, Q, A, N, F, A, T, H, H, M, O, W
(3,5)=A, (6,5)=A - neither followed by U in that column

Column 8: L, Z, O, G, A, E, U, B, I, N, G, B
(5,8)=A, (7,8)=U - A at row 5, U at row 7 - not adjacent

Column 10: V, Z, E, H, M, O, S, E, A, Z, I, G
(9,10)=A, followed by Z - not U

Hmm, maybe TAUGHT isn't in the grid? Or maybe I'm missing something.

Let me skip TAUGHT for now and find the other words.

PENCIL: P-E-N-C-I-L
P locations: (1,7), (3,2), (4,4), (4,9), (6,3), (6,7), (10,4)

From (3,2)=P:
(3,2)=P, (3,3)=E, (3,4)=L... P-E-L, need P-E-N

From (4,4)=P:
(4,4)=P, (4,5)=N! Good.
(4,4)=P, (4,5)=N, (4,6)=S... P-N-S, need P-E-N-C-I-L

From (6,3)=P:
(6,3)=P, (6,4)=W... no

From (6,7)=P:
(6,7)=P, (6,8)=E! Good.
(6,7)=P, (6,8)=E, (6,9)=S... P-E-S, need P-E-N

What about vertical from (3,2)=P?
(3,2)=P, (4,2)=A... no

From (4,9)=P:
(4,9)=P, (5,10)=M... no (diagonal)
(4,9)=P, (5,9)=Z... no (down)

Let me try diagonal from (4,4)=P:
(4,4)=P, (5,5)=Y... no

From (1,7)=P:
(1,7)=P, (2,8)=Z... no (diagonal down-right)
(1,7)=P, (2,6)=U... no (diagonal down-left)

Hmm, let me try (10,4)=P:
(10,4)=P, (11,5)=O... no

What about going up from a P?
From (6,3)=P going up:
(6,3)=P, (5,3)=I, (4,3)=T, (3,3)=E, (2,3)=Z, (1,3)=B
P-I-T-E-Z-B - not PENCIL

From (6,7)=P going up:
(6,7)=P, (5,7)=F, (4,7)=L, (3,7)=X, (2,7)=I, (1,7)=P
P-F-L-X-I-P - not PENCIL

Maybe PENCIL is diagonal?
From (4,4)=P going up-right:
(4,4)=P, (3,5)=A... no

From (4,4)=P going down-left:
(4,4)=P, (5,3)=I... no

From (3,2)=P going down-right:
(3,2)=P, (4,3)=T... no (that's part of TEACHER)

Let me try from (1,7)=P going down:
(1,7)=P, (2,7)=I, (3,7)=X, (4,7)=L, (5,7)=F, (6,7)=P, (7,7)=T, (8,7)=H, (9,7)=I, (10,7)=R, (11,7)=D, (12,7)=M
P-I-X-L-F-P-T-H-I-R-D-M

Hey! At the end: ...H(8,7)-I(9,7)-R(10,7)-D(11,7)... that's H
