Step-by-step solution for: Extra Large Print Free Printable Word Games For Dementia Patients ...
To solve this word search puzzle, we need to find all the words listed at the bottom within the grid of letters. The words can be hidden horizontally (left-to-right or right-to-left), vertically (top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top), or diagonally.
Here is the step-by-step location for each word:
1. BOOST: Found in Row 2, starting at the 3rd letter. It reads horizontally: B-O-O-S-T.
2. CARE: Found in Row 1, starting at the 1st letter. It reads horizontally: C-A-R-E.
3. ELDERLY: Found in Row 6, starting at the 8th letter. It reads horizontally: E-L-D-E-R-L-Y.
4. ENCOURAGE: Found in Row 8, starting at the 2nd letter. It reads horizontally: E-N-C-O-U-R-A-G-E.
5. ENJOY: Found in Row 2, starting at the 9th letter. It reads horizontally: E-N-J-O-Y.
6. FAMILY: Found in Row 1, starting at the 6th letter. It reads horizontally: F-A-M-I-L-Y.
7. HEALTH: Found in Row 10, starting at the 8th letter. It reads horizontally: H-E-A-L-T-H.
8. MEMORY: Found in Row 7, starting at the 2nd letter. It reads horizontally: M-E-M-O-R-Y. (Note: The list says "MEMERY" but looking closely at the grid and standard spelling, it is likely MEMORY. Let's re-check the list. The list says "MEMERY". Let's look for M-E-M-E-R-Y. Row 7 is M-E-M-O-R-Y. Wait, let me look closer at the image text. The word list says "MEMERY". In the grid, Row 7 is `I M R E M E M B E R V C L`. Ah, I see `M E M E R` in columns 5-9 of Row 7? No. Let's look at Column 2. `A-B-A-J-R-S-M-E-Z-T-K-R`. No. Let's look for diagonal. Let's re-read the word list carefully. It says `MEMERY`. Let's look at Row 7 again: `I M R E M E M B E R...`. There is `M E M E R` starting at column 5? `M`(5) `E`(6) `M`(7)... no. Let's look at Column 11 (last col). `M-E-M-O-R-Y-C-L-P-H-B-R`. Vertical! Column 11, Rows 1-6 spells `M-E-M-O-R-Y`. But the list says `MEMERY`. Let's check if there is a typo in my reading of the list or the grid.
* Let's check the word REMEMBER. Row 7, columns 5-12: `M E M B E R`. That's part of it.
* Let's look for MEMORY again. Column 11, rows 1-6 is `M, E, M, O, R, Y`. This spells MEMORY. The list might have a typo saying "MEMERY", or I am misreading the blurry text. Let's assume the word is MEMORY based on the clear vertical find.
* Actually, let's look at the word list again. It says `MEMERY`. Is there an M-E-M-E-R-Y?
* Row 7: `I M R E M E M B E R V C L`. Indices: 1:I, 2:M, 3:R, 4:E, 5:M, 6:E, 7:M, 8:B...
* Let's check diagonal.
* Let's check RECOLLECT. Row 12 (last row): `F R E C O L L E C T J U R`. Columns 2-11 spell `R-E-C-O-L-L-E-C-T`. Yes.
* Let's check RETAIN. Row 5: `U R E T A I N W O O Y L R`. Columns 3-8 spell `E-T-A-I-N`. Wait, that's ETAIN. Where is RETAIN?
* Row 5, Col 2 is R. So `R-E-T-A-I-N` is in Row 5, Columns 2-7. Yes.
* Let's check SAVE. Diagonal? Or vertical?
* Let's check SHARE. Row 9: `H Z S Q Q X B S H A R E P`. Columns 8-12 spell `S-H-A-R-E`. Yes.
* Let's check NOURISH. Row 8 has ENCOURAGE. Is NOURISH there?
* Let's look vertically for NOURISH.
* Col 4: `E, O, Q, M, T, A, E, O, Q, U, V, C`. No.
* Col 5: `F, S, G, A, A, E, M, U, Q, W, Q, O`. No.
* Let's look for NOURISH diagonally or elsewhere.
* Row 8 is `E N C O U R A G E`.
* Maybe it's vertical? Col 1: `C, N, N, O, U, R, I, S, H, T, H, F`.
* Rows 4-10 in Col 1: `O, U, R, I, S, H, T`. That spells OURISHT. Close.
* Rows 3-9? `N, O, U, R, I, S, H`. Yes! Column 1, Rows 3 through 9 spells NOURISH.
* Now back to MEMERY/MEMORY.
* We found MEMORY vertically in Col 11.
* Is there a MEMERY?
* Let's check Row 7 again. `I M R E M E M B E R...`
* Maybe the word is REMEMBER?
* Row 7, Cols 4-11: `E M E M B E R`. No.
* Row 7, Cols 5-12: `M E M B E R`. That's 6 letters. REMEMBER is 8.
* Let's look at Row 7, Cols 2-9: `M R E M E M B E`. No.
* Let's look vertically for REMEMBER.
* Col 6: `I, T, R, Z, I, D, M, R, X, B, T, L`. No.
* Col 7: `L, E, H, W, N, E, E, A, B, S, Z, E`. No.
* Let's look at the word list again. It has `REMEMBER`.
* Where is REMEMBER?
* Row 7: `I M R E M E M B E R V C L`.
* Letters 4 to 11 are: `E, M, E, M, B, E, R`. That's 7 letters. E-M-E-M-B-E-R.
* Letters 3 to 10? `R, E, M, E, M, B, E, R`. Yes! Row 7, Columns 3 through 10 spells REMEMBER.
* So what about MEMORY or MEMERY?
* The list has `MEMORY`.
* We found `MEMORY` vertically in Column 11, Rows 1-6.
* So both REMEMBER and MEMORY are present.
9. REMEMBER: Found in Row 7, starting at Column 3. Reads horizontally: R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R.
10. RECOLLECT: Found in Row 12 (the last row), starting at Column 2. Reads horizontally: R-E-C-O-L-L-E-C-T.
11. RETAIN: Found in Row 5, starting at Column 2. Reads horizontally: R-E-T-A-I-N.
12. SAVE: Let's find SAVE.
* Vertical? Col 12 (last col): `M, E, M, O, R, Y, C, L, P, H, B, R`. No.
* Col 10: `X, Y, M, C, L, Y, V, K, X, E, I, U`. No.
* Diagonal?
* Let's check Row 9 again: `H Z S Q Q X B S H A R E P`.
* Is SAVE inside SHARE? No.
* Let's look at Col 3. `R, O, I, L, E, F, R, N, S, A, V, E`.
* Rows 9-12 in Col 3: `S, A, V, E`. Yes! Column 3, Rows 9 through 12 spells SAVE vertically downwards.
13. SHARE: Found in Row 9, starting at Column 8. Reads horizontally: S-H-A-R-E.
Let's double check the remaining words:
- BOOST: Row 2, Cols 3-7. (Found)
- CARE: Row 1, Cols 1-4. (Found)
- ELDERLY: Row 6, Cols 8-14? Grid is 13 wide.
