Let’s solve this word search puzzle step by step.

We are given a grid of letters and 6 clues. Our job is to find words in the grid that match each clue. Words can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — but since this is for kids, we’ll start with horizontal and vertical first.

Here are the clues:

1. Shows the picture
2. For typing
3. Not for typing
4. Some use toner
5. Use Google to search it
6. Connects accessories to computer

---

Let’s go one by one.

Clue 1: “Shows the picture”

What device shows pictures on a computer? → Monitor

Look for “MONITOR” in the grid.

Scan rows:

Row 1: J S S D M Q E E F H J M
Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I
Row 3: K E Y B O A R D M H G N ← Wait! “KEYBOARD” is here! But that’s for typing — maybe later.

Wait — let’s look for “MONITOR”.

Check row 8: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — no
Row 9: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “F O J E R” — not helpful.

Try vertical?

Column 1: J C K V E R S U K Z D S — no
Column 2: S O E T L X Q H A H I S — no
Column 3: S B Y E O A P U V R F Y — no
Column 4: D U B H K M O Q I T O R — wait! Column 4 from top: D, U, B, H, K, M, O, Q, I, T, O, R — that’s “DUBHKMOQITOR” — not matching.

Wait — maybe “SCREEN”? That also shows pictures.

Look for “SCREEN”.

Row 7: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — ends with “S C E” — close.

Row 8: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — no
Row 9: D I F O J E R L B E T G — no
Row 10: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — no

Wait — what about “DISPLAY”? Too long.

Maybe “MONITOR” is hidden differently.

Let’s try another approach.

Look at clue 2: “For typing” → that’s definitely KEYBOARD

Find “KEYBOARD” in the grid.

Row 3: K E Y B O A R D — yes! Right there! So “KEYBOARD” is found horizontally in row 3.

So clue 2 = KEYBOARD

Now clue 3: “Not for typing” → so something you don’t type on. Maybe MOUSE? Or MONITOR?

But let’s hold on.

Clue 4: “Some use toner” → printers use toner! So PRINTER

Look for “PRINTER”

Row 5: E L O K V E N N Z M D E — no
Row 6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — has “P F B E O” — no
Row 7: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — has “R I T” — part of printer?

Wait — “PRINTER” — let’s scan vertically.

Column 6: Q C A E N F R I N O E R — let’s read down column 6 (starting from row 1):

Row1 col6: Q
Row2 col6: C
Row3 col6: A
Row4 col6: E
Row5 col6: N
Row6 col6: F
Row7 col6: R
Row8 col6: I
Row9 col6: N
Row10 col6: E
Row11 col6: R
Row12 col6: ? Wait, only 12 rows? Let me count.

Actually, the grid has 12 rows and 13 columns? Let me recount the rows in the image description.

From the text:

Row 1: J S S D M Q E E F H J M → 12 letters? Wait, actually looking back:

In the original problem, the grid is written as:

J S S D M Q E E F H J M
C O B U J C D B C V M I
K E Y B O A R D M H G N
V T E H S J N C S H K T
E L O K V E N N Z M D E
R X A M Z P F B E O J R
S Q P O Q R N M U U I N
U H Y N R I T C Z S C E
K A V I G N Q A J E A T
Z H R T O T B B Q P X F
D I F O J E R L B E T G
S S Y R O R R E Q H I V

That’s 12 rows, each with 12 letters? Let’s check row 1: J S S D M Q E E F H J M → 12 characters.

So 12x12 grid.

Back to “PRINTER”.

Look at column 6 again:

Row1: Q
Row2: C
Row3: A
Row4: E
Row5: N
Row6: F
Row7: R
Row8: I
Row9: N
Row10: E
Row11: R
Row12: R → Wait, row12 col6 is R? Row12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V → positions: 1:S, 2:S, 3:Y, 4:R, 5:O, 6:R, 7:R, 8:E, 9:Q, 10:H, 11:I, 12:V → so col6 is R.

So column 6: Q, C, A, E, N, F, R, I, N, E, R, R → that’s “QC AENFRINERR” — not “PRINTER”.

Wait — maybe “TONER” itself? Clue says “some use toner”, so the word might be “PRINTER”, but perhaps “TONER” is in the grid?

Look for “TONER”

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — has “T O T” — not “TONER”

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “E R L B E T” — no

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — has “R O R R E” — no

Vertical? Column 5: M J O S V Z Q R G O J O — no

Column 10: H V H H M O U S E P E H — let's see:

Col10:

Row1: H
Row2: V
Row3: H
Row4: H
Row5: M
Row6: O
Row7: U
Row8: S
Row9: E
Row10: P
Row11: E
Row12: H → “HVHHMOUSEPEH” — oh! “MOUSE” is in there! Rows 6-10: O, U, S, E — that’s “OUSE”, but if we take row7 to row10: U, S, E, P — no.

Wait — row7 col10: U
row8 col10: S
row9 col10: E
row10 col10: P — not mouse.

But “MOUSE” — let’s search horizontally.

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — has “M U U” — not mouse.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — no

Row 9: K A V I G N Q A J E A T — no

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — no

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “E R L B E T” — no

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — no

Perhaps “MOUSE” is vertical.

Column 11: J M G K D J I C A X T I — no

Column 12: M I N T E R N E T F G V — oh! Column 12:

Row1: M
Row2: I
Row3: N
Row4: T
Row5: E
Row6: R
Row7: N
Row8: E
Row9: T
Row10: F
Row11: G
Row12: V → “MINTERNETFGV” — “INTERNET” is in there! Rows 3 to 9: N, T, E, R, N, E, T — that’s “NTERNET” — almost “INTERNET” but missing ‘I’ at start.

Row2 col12 is I, row3 is N, row4 T, row5 E, row6 R, row7 N, row8 E, row9 T — so from row2 to row9: I, N, T, E, R, N, E, T — that’s “INTERNET”! Yes!

So “INTERNET” is vertical in column 12, rows 2 to 9.

And clue 5: “Use Google to search it” → that’s INTERNET! Perfect.

So clue 5 = INTERNET

Now, back to clue 4: “Some use toner” → still thinking PRINTER.

Let’s look for “PRINTER” again.

Perhaps it’s horizontal.

Row 6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — has “P F B E O” — no

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — has “P O Q R” — no

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — has “R I T” — part of printer?

“PRINTER” — P-R-I-N-T-E-R

Look at row 8: positions: 1:U, 2:H, 3:Y, 4:N, 5:R, 6:I, 7:T, 8:C, 9:Z, 10:S, 11:C, 12:E — so “R I T” at 5,6,7 — then C, not N.

Not matching.

Vertical? Column 7: E D R N N F N T Q B R R — let's list:

Col7:

Row1: E
Row2: D
Row3: R
Row4: N
Row5: N
Row6: F
Row7: N
Row8: T
Row9: Q
Row10: B
Row11: R
Row12: R → “EDRNNFN TQBRR” — no “PRINTER”

Column 8: E B C C N B M C A B E E — no

Column 9: F C M S Z E U Z J Q B Q — no

Column 10: H V H H M O U S E P E H — earlier we saw “MOUSE” might be here.

Row6 col10: O
Row7 col10: U
Row8 col10: S
Row9 col10: E — that’s “O U S E” — if we had M before, but row5 col10 is M! Row5: E L O K V E N N Z M D E — col10 is M.

So column 10, rows 5 to 9: M, O, U, S, E — that’s “MOUSE”! Yes!

So “MOUSE” is vertical in column 10, rows 5 to 9.

And clue 3: “Not for typing” — MOUSE is not for typing, it’s for pointing. Perfect.

So clue 3 = MOUSE

Now clue 1: “Shows the picture” — should be MONITOR or SCREEN.

We have “KEYBOARD” for typing, “MOUSE” not for typing, “INTERNET” for searching, “PRINTER” for toner.

Left: clue 1 and clue 6.

Clue 6: “Connects accessories to computer” — that’s USB or PORT? Or HUB?

Commonly, USB port connects accessories.

Look for “USB”

In the grid, look for U-S-B.

Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I — has “B U” — not USB.

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — has “U U” — no

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — starts with U, then H, not S.

Vertical? Column 1: J C K V E R S U K Z D S — has “S U” at row7 and row8? Row7 col1: S, row8 col1: U — then row9 col1: K — not B.

Column 4: D U B H K M O Q I T O R — row2 col4: U, row3 col4: B — so “U B” — if there was S before, but row1 col4 is D.

Not working.

Perhaps “PORT”?

Look for “PORT”

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — has “T O T” — not PORT.

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “O J E” — no

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — has “R O R” — no

Vertical? Column 5: M J O S V Z Q R G O J O — row3 col5: O, row4 col5: S, row5 col5: V — not PORT.

Another idea: “CABLE”? But not specific.

Or “ADAPTER”? Too long.

Perhaps “USB” is not there, but “PORT” is.

Let’s think of common terms.

Another possibility: “DRIVER”? No.

Wait — clue 6: “Connects accessories to computer” — could be USB, but also BLUETOOTH? Too long.

Perhaps WIRELESS? No.

Let’s look back at the grid for any obvious words.

We have found:

- KEYBOARD (row 3, horizontal)
- MOUSE (column 10, rows 5-9, vertical)
- INTERNET (column 12, rows 2-9, vertical)

Now, clue 4: “Some use toner” — must be PRINTER.

Let’s search for “PRINTER” more carefully.

Perhaps it’s diagonal? But usually for kids, it's horizontal or vertical.

Another thought: “TONER” itself might be the word, but the clue says “some use toner”, implying the device that uses toner, which is printer.

Look at row 6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — has “P” at position 6.

Then below it, row7 col6: R (from earlier, col6 row7 is R)

Row8 col6: I

Row9 col6: N

Row10 col6: E

Row11 col6: R

Row12 col6: R

So column 6, rows 6 to 11: P, R, I, N, E, R — that’s “PRINER” — missing T? “PRINTER” has T after N.

“PRINTER” is P-R-I-N-T-E-R

So after N should be T.

In column 6, row9 is N, row10 is E — so N then E, not T.

Not matching.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — positions 5,6,7: R, I, T — so “RIT”

If we had P before, but position 4 is N.

Not helping.

Perhaps “LASER”? Some printers are laser, use toner.

Look for “LASER”

Row 1: J S S D M Q E E F H J M — no

Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I — no

Row 3: K E Y B O A R D M H G N — no

Row 4: V T E H S J N C S H K T — has “S J N” — no

Row 5: E L O K V E N N Z M D E — has “L O K” — not LASER

Row 6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — no

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — no

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — no

Row 9: K A V I G N Q A J E A T — no

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — has “T O T” — no

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “E R L” — not LASER

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — no

Vertical? Column 2: S O E T L X Q H A H I S — row5 col2: L, row6 col2: X — not A.

Not working.

Another idea: perhaps “PRINTER” is in row 11 or 12.

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has “E R L B E T" — not printer.

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — has "R O R R E" — no.

Let's consider clue 1: "Shows the picture" — perhaps "SCREEN"

Look for "SCREEN"

Row 7: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — ends with "S C E" — if it was "SCREEN", it would be S-C-R-E-E-N, but here it's Z S C E — so positions 9,10,11,12: Z,S,C,E — not SCREEN.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — same as above? No, row 8 is different.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — let's index: 1:U,2:H,3:Y,4:N,5:R,6:I,7:T,8:C,9:Z,10:S,11:C,12:E — so "S C E" at 10,11,12.

Not "SCREEN".

Perhaps "MONITOR" is in the grid.

Let's try to find "MONITOR" vertically.

Column 1: J C K V E R S U K Z D S — no M except row1.

Column 2: S O E T L X Q H A H I S — no M.

Column 3: S B Y E O A P U V R F Y — no M.

Column 4: D U B H K M O Q I T O R — row6 col4: M, row7 col4: O, row8 col4: Q — not N.

Row6 col4: M (from row6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — so col4 is M)

Row7 col4: O (row7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — col4 is O)

Row8 col4: Q (row8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — col4 is N? Let's clarify.

I think I need to make a grid.

Let me write the grid with row and column numbers.

Columns 1 to 12, Rows 1 to 12.

Row 1: 1:J,2:S,3:S,4:D,5:M,6:Q,7:E,8:E,9:F,10:H,11:J,12:M

Row 2: 1:C,2:O,3:B,4:U,5:J,6:C,7:D,8:B,9:C,10:V,11:M,12:I

Row 3: 1:K,2:E,3:Y,4:B,5:O,6:A,7:R,8:D,9:M,10:H,11:G,12:N

Row 4: 1:V,2:T,3:E,4:H,5:S,6:J,7:N,8:C,9:S,10:H,11:K,12:T

Row 5: 1:E,2:L,3:O,4:K,5:V,6:E,7:N,8:N,9:Z,10:M,11:D,12:E

Row 6: 1:R,2:X,3:A,4:M,5:Z,6:P,7:F,8:B,9:E,10:O,11:J,12:R

Row 7: 1:S,2:Q,3:P,4:O,5:Q,6:R,7:N,8:M,9:U,10:U,11:I,12:N

Row 8: 1:U,2:H,3:Y,4:N,5:R,6:I,7:T,8:C,9:Z,10:S,11:C,12:E

Row 9: 1:K,2:A,3:V,4:I,5:G,6:N,7:Q,8:A,9:J,10:E,11:A,12:T

Row 10: 1:Z,2:H,3:R,4:T,5:O,6:T,7:B,8:B,9:Q,10:P,11:X,12:F

Row 11: 1:D,2:I,3:F,4:O,5:J,6:E,7:R,8:L,9:B,10:E,11:T,12:G

Row 12: 1:S,2:S,3:Y,4:R,5:O,6:R,7:R,8:E,9:Q,10:H,11:I,12:V

Now, let's find "PRINTER".

Look at row 8, columns 5 to 11: R,I,T,C,Z,S,C — not printer.

Row 6, columns 6 to 12: P,F,B,E,O,J,R — not.

Vertical column 6: row1:Q,2:C,3:A,4:J,5:E,6:P,7:R,8:I,9:N,10:T,11:E,12:R

Oh! Column 6:
Row6: P
Row7: R
Row8: I
Row9: N
Row10: T
Row11: E
Row12: R

That's P,R,I,N,T,E,R — "PRINTER"! Yes! From row6 to row12, column 6.

Perfect.

So clue 4 = PRINTER

Now clue 1: "Shows the picture" — should be MONITOR or SCREEN.

Look for "MONITOR"

Horizontal? Row 1: J S S D M Q E E F H J M — has M at start and end, but not monitor.

Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I — has M at col11.

Row 3: K E Y B O A R D M H G N — has M at col9.

Not consecutive.

Vertical? Column 5: row1:M,2:J,3:O,4:S,5:V,6:Z,7:Q,8:R,9:G,10:O,11:J,12:O — "MJO SVZQRGOJO" — no.

Column 9: row1:F,2:C,3:M,4:S,5:Z,6:E,7:U,8:Z,9:J,10:Q,11:B,12:Q — no.

Perhaps "SCREEN"

Look for "SCREEN"

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — has S at col1, but not screen.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — has S at col10, C at 11, E at 12 — "S C E" — if it was "SCREEN", it needs R before S, but col9 is Z.

Not.

Another idea: "DISPLAY" — too long.

Perhaps "MONITOR" is not there, but "TV"? Unlikely.

Let's think of other words.

Clue 6: "Connects accessories to computer" — we have USB, but not found.

Perhaps "PORT"

Look for "PORT"

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — has T,O,T — not PORT.

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — has O at col4, J at5, not R.

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — has R,O,R — not PORT.

Vertical column 4: row1:D,2:U,3:B,4:H,5:K,6:M,7:O,8:N,9:I,10:T,11:O,12:R — "DUBHKMONITOR" — oh! "MONITOR" is in column 4, rows 7 to 12: O,N,I,T,O,R — that's "ONITOR" — missing M.

Row6 col4 is M! Row6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — col4 is M.

So column 4, rows 6 to 12: M, O, N, I, T, O, R — that's "MONITOR"! Yes!

Rows 6 to 12, column 4: M (row6), O (row7), N (row8), I (row9), T (row10), O (row11), R (row12) — "MONITOR" — perfect.

So clue 1 = MONITOR

Now only clue 6 left: "Connects accessories to computer"

What's left? We have used:

- MONITOR (clue 1)
- KEYBOARD (clue 2)
- MOUSE (clue 3)
- PRINTER (clue 4)
- INTERNET (clue 5)

Clue 6 must be something else.

Possible words: USB, PORT, CABLE, ADAPTER, etc.

Look for "USB"

In the grid, is there U-S-B?

Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I — has B,U at col3,4 — but not U,S,B.

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — has U,U at col9,10 — not S,B.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — has U at col1, S at col10 — not adjacent.

Vertical? Column 1: J,C,K,V,E,R,S,U,K,Z,D,S — has S at row7, U at row8 — then K, not B.

Column 9: F,C,M,S,Z,E,U,Z,J,Q,B,Q — has U at row7, Z at8, not S,B.

Perhaps "PORT" is not there, but "HUB"?

Look for "HUB"

Row 8: U H Y ... — has H at col2, U at col1 — not HUB.

Row 10: Z H R ... — H at col2.

Not.

Another common term: "DRIVE"? Like USB drive, but not specific.

Perhaps "WIFI"? But not for connecting accessories directly.

Let's look at the remaining letters or possible words.

We have not used all letters, but we need to find a word for clue 6.

Perhaps "CABLE"

Look for "CABLE"

Row 2: C O B U J C D B C V M I — has C at col1, O,B,U — not cable.

Row 4: V T E H S J N C S H K T — has C at col8.

Row 5: E L O K V E N N Z M D E — no C.

Row 6: R X A M Z P F B E O J R — no C.

Row 7: S Q P O Q R N M U U I N — no C.

Row 8: U H Y N R I T C Z S C E — has C at col8 and col11.

Row 9: K A V I G N Q A J E A T — no C.

Row 10: Z H R T O T B B Q P X F — no C.

Row 11: D I F O J E R L B E T G — no C.

Row 12: S S Y R O R R E Q H I V — no C.

Vertical column 8: row1:E,2:B,3:D,4:C,5:N,6:B,7:M,8:C,9:A,10:B,11:L,12:E — "EBDCNBMCA BLE" — has "BLE" at end, but not cable.

Column 8, rows 10 to 12: B,L,E — "BLE" — if there was CA before, but row9 col8 is A, row8 col8 is C — so rows 8,9,10,11,12: C,A,B,L,E — "CABLE"! Yes!

Column 8:
Row8: C
Row9: A
Row10: B
Row11: L
Row12: E

That's "CABLE" — but "CABLE" is C-A-B-L-E, yes.

And clue 6: "Connects accessories to computer" — cables do connect accessories, like USB cable, HDMI cable, etc.

Perfect.

So clue 6 = CABLE

Now, let's summarize:

- Clue 1: Shows the picture → MONITOR (found in column 4, rows 6-12)
- Clue 2: For typing → KEYBOARD (row 3, columns 1-8)
- Clue 3: Not for typing → MOUSE (column 10, rows 5-9)
- Clue 4: Some use toner → PRINTER (column 6, rows 6-12)
- Clue 5: Use Google to search it → INTERNET (column 12, rows 2-9)
- Clue 6: Connects accessories to computer → CABLE (column 8, rows 8-12)

All clues solved.

Final Answer:
The words are:
- Shows the picture: MONITOR
- For typing: KEYBOARD
- Not for typing: MOUSE
- Some use toner: PRINTER
- Use Google to search it: INTERNET
- Connects accessories to computer: CABLE
