Let’s solve this Spring Word Search step by step.

We are given a grid of letters and a list of words to find. The words can be hidden horizontally (left to right or right to left), vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top), or diagonally — but in most simple word searches like this, they’re usually horizontal or vertical unless stated otherwise. Let’s assume standard directions: left-to-right, top-to-bottom, and maybe backwards too.

List of words to find:
- APRIL
- BLOOM
- BUNNY
- BUTTERFLY
- FLOWERS
- GARDEN
- KITE
- MAY
- NEST
- RAIN
- SEEDS
- SPRING
- SUNSHINE
- WARM
- WINDY

We’ll go one by one and scan the grid carefully.

---

Start with “SPRING” — it’s also in the title, so likely easy to spot.

Look at row 12 (counting from top):
G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N → wait, that’s not quite it.

Wait — look at row 13:
E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U → no.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B → no.

Try scanning columns? Maybe better to look for common starting letters.

Let’s try “APRIL”.

Look for ‘A’ followed by ‘P’, then ‘R’, etc.

In row 9: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y → here we have “A M P” — close but not “APRIL”.

Row 8: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W → no.

Row 7: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V → ends with “M A V” — not helpful.

Wait — let’s look at column 5 (from left, 5th letter in each row):

Row 1: D
Row 2: C
Row 3: K
Row 4: D
Row 5: N
Row 6: I
Row 7: K
Row 8: U
Row 9: A
Row 10: M
Row 11: R
Row 12: P
Row 13: R
Row 14: N

Not matching.

Alternative approach: Look for long words first — “BUTTERFLY” is 9 letters. That might stand out.

Scan rows for sequences like B-U-T-T-E-R-F-L-Y.

Check row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M → has “B B R” — not it.

Row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S → no.

Row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E → no.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E → has “B T E” — not enough.

Row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D → no.

Row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S → no.

Row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X → no.

Row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V → no.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W → starts with B R E — not BUTTERFLY.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y → no.

Row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N → has “R P A R” — interesting! “PARS” — could be part of something?

Wait — “FLOWERS” — let’s try that.

F-L-O-W-E-R-S

Look at row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X → has “F E S” — not quite.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E → no.

What about “RAIN”? Short word.

Look for R-A-I-N.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W → has R, then later I, but not together.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y → has A, but no R nearby.

Row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N → here: positions 6=R, 8=A, 9=R — so “R A R” — not “RAIN”.

But wait — what if we go backwards? Sometimes words are reversed.

For example, “NIAR” would be “RAIN” backwards.

Still not seeing it.

Let me try a different strategy — look at the last few rows where some words might be placed obviously.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N → read backwards: N R K R T E E S M S P R I N G → oh! “SPRING” appears backwards at the end: ...P R I N G — yes! From position 6 to 10: S P R I N G? Wait:

Positions in row 12 (left to right):

1:G, 2:N, 3:I, 4:R, 5:P, 6:S, 7:M, 8:S, 9:E, 10:E, 11:T, 12:R, 13:K, 14:R, 15:N

So from position 5 to 10: P S M S E E — no.

Wait — from position 3 to 8: I R P S M S — no.

Actually, look at positions 12 to 15: R K R N — no.

I think I made a mistake.

Let me write row 12 again: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N

If I take letters 3 to 8: I R P S M S — not SPRING.

But notice: letters 1 to 6: G N I R P S — still not.

Wait — what if “SPRING” is written vertically?

Let’s check column 1:

Row 1: A
Row 2: R
Row 3: E
Row 4: Q
Row 5: I
Row 6: D
Row 7: Y
Row 8: E
Row 9: B
Row 10: O
Row 11: G
Row 12: G
Row 13: E
Row 14: V

No.

Column 2:

F, X, T, N, P, C, E, J, R, A, I, N, C, T — no.

This is taking too long. Let me try to find “MAY” — short word.

Look for M-A-Y.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y → has “A M” at positions 5-6, then P — not Y.

But at the end: T E Y — so “E Y” — not MAY.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W → has “T Y” — not MAY.

Row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V → ends with “M A V” — close! If it were “M A Y”, but it’s “V”.

Unless... is there a “Y” nearby? No.

Wait — row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — starts with Y.

Not helping.

Let’s try “WARM”.

W-A-R-M.

Row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U → look: positions 5=R, 6=A, 7=W — so “R A W” — which is “WAR” backwards, and then M is before it? Position 4 is M.

So positions 4 to 7: M R A W — that’s “MRAW” — not WARM.

But if we read backwards from position 7 to 4: W A R M — YES! W (pos7), A (pos6), R (pos5), M (pos4) — so “WARM” is in row 13, columns 4 to 7, reading right to left.

Great! So WARM is found.

Similarly, let’s look for other words using this method.

Now, “SUNSHINE” — 8 letters. Might be hard, but let’s see.

Or “SEEDS” — shorter.

Look for S-E-E-D-S.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N → has “S E E” at positions 8,9,10 — then T — not D.

But positions 6=S, 7=M, 8=S, 9=E, 10=E — so “S M S E E” — not SEEDS.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has “E D” at start? Positions 3=E, 4=D — then R — not E.

Another idea: look at the word list and see which ones might be obvious.

“BLOOM” — B-L-O-O-M.

Row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V → positions 10=L, 11=O, 12=O, 13=M — so “L O O M” — missing B at start.

Position 9=V — not B.

But if we go back: position 8=P, 9=V, 10=L — no.

Wait — what about row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has “O T N O” — not bloom.

Perhaps “BLOOM” is vertical.

Let me try column 13:

Row 1: W
Row 2: W
Row 3: K
Row 4: O
Row 5: Z
Row 6: U
Row 7: L
Row 8: O
Row 9: H
Row 10: T
Row 11: Y
Row 12: K
Row 13: A
Row 14: U

No.

This is inefficient. Let me try to find “NEST”.

N-E-S-T.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W → positions 7=N, 8=N, 9=S, 10=T — so “N N S T” — almost! If it were N E S T, but it's N N S T.

Close, but not quite.

Row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has “N H P S” — not NEST.

Row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — ends with E N — not NEST.

What about “KITE”?

K-I-T-E.

Row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has “I K” at positions 3-4, then D — not T.

Positions 1=E, 2=T, 3=I, 4=K — so “E T I K” — which is “KITE” backwards! K (pos4), I (pos3), T (pos2), E (pos1) — yes! So “KITE” is in row 3, columns 1 to 4, reading right to left.

Great!

So far we have:
- WARM in row 13, cols 4-7 (right to left)
- KITE in row 3, cols 1-4 (right to left)

Now let’s find “RAIN”.

R-A-I-N.

Look at row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — no R near A.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — has R at pos2, then E, not A.

But later: pos14=I, pos15=W — not N.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has N at pos5, O at 6, B at 7 — not RAIN.

What about vertical? Column 14:

Row 1: M
Row 2: S
Row 3: E
Row 4: E
Row 5: D
Row 6: S
Row 7: X
Row 8: V
Row 9: W
Row 10: Y
Row 11: N
Row 12: N
Row 13: U
Row 14: B

No.

Column 15: all rows have only up to 15 letters? Row 1 has 15 letters: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — so col 15 is M,S,E,E,D,S,X,V,W,Y,N,N,U,B

Still no RAIN.

Perhaps “RAIN” is in row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U — positions 5=R, 6=A, 7=W, 8=N — so “R A W N” — close to “RAIN” but has W instead of I.

Not quite.

Wait — what if it's diagonal? But let's assume not for now.

Another word: “MAY”.

M-A-Y.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — positions 5=A, 6=M, 7=P — not Y.

But at the end: T E Y — so if we had M before, but we have P.

Row 8: ... O O M A V — positions 12=O, 13=M, 14=A, 15=V — so “M A V” — not Y.

Unless "Y" is elsewhere.

Row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — starts with Y.

Not helping.

Let’s try “APRIL”.

A-P-R-I-L.

Look at row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — positions 6=R, 7=P, 8=A, 9=R — so “R P A R” — not April.

But if we read backwards from position 8: A (8), P (7), R (6), I (5), L (4) — so A P R I L — yes! Positions 4 to 8: L I R P A — wait, left to right: pos4=L, 5=I, 6=R, 7=P, 8=A — so “L I R P A” — which is “APRIL” backwards! A (8), P (7), R (6), I (5), L (4) — so reading right to left from col 8 to 4: A-P-R-I-L.

Perfect! So “APRIL” is in row 11, columns 4 to 8, reading right to left.

Great.

So now we have:
- KITE: row 3, cols 1-4 (right to left)
- WARM: row 13, cols 4-7 (right to left)
- APRIL: row 11, cols 4-8 (right to left)

Now let’s find “BUNNY”.

B-U-N-N-Y.

Look for B followed by U, etc.

Row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has B at pos10 and 11 — then R — not U.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has B at pos9, then T — not U.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — starts with B, then R — not U.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has B at pos7 and 15, and U at pos14 — so “U M B” at end — not BUNNY.

What about vertical? Column 10:

Row 1: B
Row 2: L
Row 3: T
Row 4: T
Row 5: E
Row 6: R
Row 7: S
Row 8: L
Row 9: T
Row 10: E
Row 11: S
Row 12: T
Row 13: B
Row 14: J

No.

Perhaps “BUNNY” is in row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — no B.

Let’s skip and come back.

“FLOWERS” — F-L-O-W-E-R-S.

Look at row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — has F at pos10, E at 11, S at 12 — so “F E S” — not flowers.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — no F.

Row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has F at pos2, L at 3, Y at 4 — so “F L Y” — not flowers.

But “FLY” is not in the list; “BUTTERFLY” is.

Ah! “BUTTERFLY” — let’s try that.

B-U-T-T-E-R-F-L-Y.

9 letters.

Look at row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has “B B R” at pos10-12 — not it.

Row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S — has “L U L” — not.

Row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has “S U O T” — not.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has “B T E” — close to “B T E” but need more.

Positions 9=B, 10=T, 11=E — then X — not R.

But if we go further: after E is X, O, I, E — not R F L Y.

What about row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S — has “U F S” at end — not.

Row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — has “S F E S” — not.

Perhaps it's vertical.

Column 1: A,R,E,Q,I,D,Y,E,B,O,G,G,E,V — no B U T T E R F L Y.

Column 2: F,X,T,N,P,C,E,J,R,A,I,N,C,T — no.

This is tough.

Let me try “GARDEN”.

G-A-R-D-E-N.

6 letters.

Look at row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — starts with G, then I — not A.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — starts with G, then N — not A.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has “R A G” at positions 5-7 — so “R A G” — then K — not D.

But if we have “G A R D E N”, perhaps elsewhere.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — has A at pos2 and 5, but no G nearby.

What about “SEEDS”.

S-E-E-D-S.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — has S at pos6, M at 7, S at 8, E at 9, E at 10 — so “S M S E E” — not SEEDS.

But positions 8=S, 9=E, 10=E, 11=T — not D.

Row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has S at pos7, L at 8, V at 9, E at 10 — not E E D S.

Row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U — has E at pos1, C, Z, M, R, A, W, N, E at pos9, B, E at 11, F, A, X, U — so “E B E” — not seeds.

Perhaps “SEEDS” is in row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has E at pos3, D at 4, R at 5 — so “E D R” — not seeds.

Let’s try “WINDY”.

W-I-N-D-Y.

Row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has W at pos8, S at 9, B at 10 — not I N D Y.

But has Y at pos4, D at 5, N at 6, I at 7, W at 8 — so “Y D N I W” — which is “WINDY” backwards! W (pos8), I (pos7), N (pos6), D (pos5), Y (pos4) — yes! So “WINDY” is in row 1, columns 4 to 8, reading right to left.

Great!

So now we have:
- KITE: row 3, cols 1-4 (right to left)
- WARM: row 13, cols 4-7 (right to left)
- APRIL: row 11, cols 4-8 (right to left)
- WINDY: row 1, cols 4-8 (right to left)

Now “SUNSHINE” — 8 letters.

S-U-N-S-H-I-N-E.

Look for S U N S H I N E.

Row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S — has S at pos3, F at 4, C at 5 — not U.

Row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S — has U at pos4, I at 5, H at 6, M at 7 — not S H I N E.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — has S at pos6, M at 7, S at 8, E at 9, E at 10 — not sunshine.

Perhaps vertical.

Column 15: M,S,E,E,D,S,X,V,W,Y,N,N,U,B — no.

Column 14: W,W,K,O,Z,U,L,O,H,T,Y,K,A,U — no.

Maybe it's in row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — has S at pos3, U at 4, G at 5, U at 6, S at 7 — so “S U G U S” — not sunshine.

But “S U” is there.

Let’s try “NEST” again.

N-E-S-T.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — positions 7=N, 8=N, 9=S, 10=T — so “N N S T” — if it were N E S T, but it's N N S T.

Unless the first N is for something else.

What if “NEST” is in row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has N at pos4, H at 5, P at 6, S at 7 — so “N H P S” — not NEST.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has N at pos5, O at 6, B at 7 — not E S T.

Perhaps “NEST” is vertical.

Column 7:

Row 1: I
Row 2: V
Row 3: S
Row 4: G
Row 5: S
Row 6: M
Row 7: T
Row 8: S
Row 9: N
Row 10: P
Row 11: P
Row 12: M
Row 13: W
Row 14: H

No.

Let’s look for “MAY” again.

M-A-Y.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — positions 5=A, 6=M, 7=P — not Y.

But at the very end: T E Y — so if we had M before, but we have P.

Row 8: ... O O M A V — positions 13=M, 14=A, 15=V — so “M A V” — not Y.

Unless "Y" is in row 7 pos1: Y.

Not connected.

What about row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has O at pos9, T at 10, N at 11, O at 12 — not MAY.

Perhaps “MAY” is in row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U — has M at pos4, R at 5, A at 6, W at 7 — so “M R A W” — not MAY.

But if we take M at 4, A at 6, Y? No Y.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has M at pos14, B at 15 — not A Y.

Let’s try “BLOOM”.

B-L-O-O-M.

Row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — positions 10=L, 11=O, 12=O, 13=M — so “L O O M” — missing B at start.

Position 9=V — not B.

But what if B is at position 8? P — not B.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — starts with B, then R — not L.

Unless it's not in this row.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has B at pos9, T at 10 — not L.

Perhaps “BLOOM” is vertical.

Column 13:

Row 1: W
Row 2: W
Row 3: K
Row 4: O
Row 5: Z
Row 6: U
Row 7: L
Row 8: O
Row 9: H
Row 10: T
Row 11: Y
Row 12: K
Row 13: A
Row 14: U

No B L O O M.

Column 12:

Row 1: R
Row 2: J
Row 3: O
Row 4: X
Row 5: E
Row 6: P
Row 7: S
Row 8: O
Row 9: C
Row 10: P
Row 11: Z
Row 12: R
Row 13: F
Row 14: G

No.

Let’s try “GARDEN” again.

G-A-R-D-E-N.

Row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — has G at 1, I at 2, T at 3, L at 4, I at 5, R at 6, P at 7, A at 8, R at 9 — so “G I T L I R P A R” — not garden.

But if we take G at 1, then A at 8, R at 9 — not consecutive.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — G at 1, N at 2, I at 3, R at 4, P at 5 — not A.

What about row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has R at 5, A at 6, G at 7 — so “R A G” — then K — not D.

But if we have “G A R D E N”, perhaps it's in reverse or something.

Another idea: look at the bottom of the grid.

Row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U — has “R A W N” — not garden.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has “H G U M B” — not.

Let’s try “SEEDS” in row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has S at 7, L at 8, V at 9, E at 10, X at 11, E at 12, Z at 13, M at 14, D at 15 — so “S L V E X E Z M D” — not seeds.

But positions 10=E, 11=X, 12=E — not E E D S.

Perhaps “SEEDS” is in row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — positions 8=S, 9=E, 10=E, 11=T — not D.

Unless D is elsewhere.

Let’s consider that some words might be forward.

For example, “SPRING” — let's find it properly.

Earlier I thought it was in row 12, but let's look at row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N

If I take positions 3 to 8: I R P S M S — not spring.

Positions 1 to 6: G N I R P S — not.

But what if it's in row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — has “R P A R” — not.

Row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — no.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — no.

Perhaps “SPRING” is vertical.

Column 1: A,R,E,Q,I,D,Y,E,B,O,G,G,E,V — no S P R I N G.

Column 2: F,X,T,N,P,C,E,J,R,A,I,N,C,T — has P at row 5, C at 6, E at 7, J at 8, R at 9, A at 10, I at 11, N at 12, C at 13, T at 14 — so from row 5 to 12: P,C,E,J,R,A,I,N — not spring.

But from row 8 to 13: J,R,A,I,N,C — not.

Let's look at column 6:

Row 1: N
Row 2: O
Row 3: J
Row 4: A
Row 5: H
Row 6: H
Row 7: H
Row 8: U
Row 9: L
Row 10: M
Row 11: R
Row 12: S
Row 13: A
Row 14: O

No.

I recall that in many word searches, "SPRING" might be across the top or something.

Row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has S at pos9, B at 10, B at 11, R at 12 — so “S B B R” — not spring.

But if we take S at 9, then B at 10, etc.

Perhaps it's in the middle.

Let's try row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S — has O at 9, R at 10, J at 11, P at 12 — not spring.

Another thought: perhaps "SPRING" is in row 12, but let's read it as: positions 6=S, 7=M, 8=S, 9=E, 10=E, 11=T, 12=R, 13=K, 14=R, 15=N — so "S M S E E T R K R N" — not.

But notice that in row 12, from position 3 to 8: I R P S M S — still not.

Let's count the letters in "SPRING": S-P-R-I-N-G.

Look for S followed by P, etc.

In row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — has P at 7, A at 8, R at 9, S at 10 — so “P A R S” — not S P R I N G.

In row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — has S at 3, U at 4, G at 5, U at 6, S at 7, P at 8 — so “S U G U S P” — not.

But at positions 7=S, 8=P — so “S P” — then V at 9 — not R.

Close.

What if it's in row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has P at 2, F at 3, N at 4, H at 5, P at 6, S at 7 — so “P F N H P S” — not.

Perhaps "SPRING" is not in the grid yet, but it must be.

Let's look at the word list again. We have "SPRING" in the title, so it should be in the grid.

Another idea: perhaps it's diagonal.

For example, from row 1 col 9: S, then row 2 col 10: L, row 3 col 11: N, row 4 col 12: X, row 5 col 13: Z, row 6 col 14: F, row 7 col 15: X — not spring.

From row 1 col 1: A, row 2 col 2: X, row 3 col 3: I, row 4 col 4: D, row 5 col 5: H, row 6 col 6: H, row 7 col 7: T, row 8 col 8: P, row 9 col 9: S, row 10 col 10: E, row 11 col 11: Z, row 12 col 12: R, row 13 col 13: A, row 14 col 14: M — not spring.

This is taking too long. Let me try to find "BUTTERFLY" since it's long.

B-U-T-T-E-R-F-L-Y.

Suppose it's in row 1: positions 10=B, 11=B, 12=R — not U T T.

Row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S — has U at pos10, L at 11, J at 12, W at 13, U at 14, S at 15 — so “U L J W U S” — not.

Row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has S at 7, U at 8, O at 9, T at 10, N at 11, O at 12, K at 13, F at 14, E at 15 — so “S U O T N O K F E” — not butter fly.

But "S U O T" — not.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has B at 9, T at 10, E at 11, X at 12, O at 13, I at 14, E at 15 — so “B T E X O I E” — not.

Row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — no B.

Row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S — has U at 4, I at 5, H at 6, M at 7, Q at 8, O at 9, R at 10, J at 11, P at 12, U at 13, F at 14, S at 15 — so “U I H M Q O R J P U F S” — not.

Row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — has U at 3, X at 4, K at 5, H at 6, T at 7, P at 8, S at 9, F at 10, E at 11, S at 12, L at 13, L at 14, X at 15 — so “U X K H T P S F E S L L X” — not.

But has "T P S F" — not.

Perhaps it's in row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — has S at 3, U at 4, G at 5, U at 6, S at 7, P at 8, V at 9, L at 10, O at 11, O at 12, M at 13, A at 14, V at 15 — so “S U G U S P V L O O M A V” — not.

I am considering that "BUTTERFLY" might be split or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's look for "FLOWERS".

F-L-O-W-E-R-S.

Row 7: Y E U X K H T P S F E S L L X — has F at 10, E at 11, S at 12 — so “F E S” — not flowers.

Row 1: A F L Y D N I W S B B R W Q M — has F at 2, L at 3, Y at 4 — so “F L Y” — not flowers.

But "FLY" is part of "BUTTERFLY", so perhaps "BUTTERFLY" includes "FLY".

In row 1, "F L Y" at positions 2-4.

Then if "BUTTER" is before or after.

Before: A at 1 — not B U T T E R.

After: D at 5, N at 6, I at 7, W at 8, S at 9, B at 10, B at 11, R at 12 — so “D N I W S B B R” — not butter.

So not.

Perhaps "BUTTERFLY" is in row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has B at 9, T at 10, E at 11 — so “B T E” — then X O I E — not R F L Y.

Unless it's not continuous.

I think I need to accept that for now and move on, or look for easier words.

Let's try "MAY" again.

Perhaps in row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — positions 5=A, 6=M, 7=P — not Y.

But at the end: T E Y — so if we consider "MAY" as M-A-Y, and if there is a Y after M, but there isn't.

What if "MAY" is in row 13: E C Z M R A W N E B E F A X U — has M at 4, R at 5, A at 6, W at 7 — so “M R A W” — not MAY.

But if we take M at 4, A at 6, and Y? No Y.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has M at 14, B at 15 — not A Y.

Let's look at row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has O at 9, T at 10, N at 11, O at 12 — not MAY.

Perhaps "MAY" is vertical.

Column 6: N,O,J,A,H,H,H,U,L,M,R,S,A,O — no M A Y.

Column 7: I,V,S,G,S,M,T,S,N,P,P,M,W,H — no.

Column 8: W,O,U,K,P,Q,P,U,Q,J,A,S,N,X — no.

Column 9: S,L,O,B,S,O,S,V,U,E,R,E,E,H — no.

Column 10: B,U,T,T,E,R,F,L,T,P,S,T,B,J — has B,U,T,T,E,R,F,L — that's "BUTTERFL" almost!

Let's see column 10:

Row 1: B
Row 2: U
Row 3: T
Row 4: T
Row 5: E
Row 6: R
Row 7: F
Row 8: L
Row 9: T
Row 10: P
Row 11: S
Row 12: T
Row 13: B
Row 14: J

So from row 1 to 8: B,U,T,T,E,R,F,L — that's "BUTTERFL" — and then row 9 is T, but we need Y for "BUTTERFLY".

"BUTTERFLY" is 9 letters, so if it's from row 1 to 9: B,U,T,T,E,R,F,L,T — but that's "BUTTERFLT" — not Y.

Row 9 is T, not Y.

But in the list, it's "BUTTERFLY", so should end with Y.

Perhaps it's from row 2 to 10: U,T,T,E,R,F,L,T,P — not.

Or maybe it's not vertical.

Another possibility: perhaps "BUTTERFLY" is in row 1, but we have "B B R" at 10-12.

Let's calculate the position.

Perhaps I missed it.

Let's look at row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — positions 9=B, 10=T, 11=E, 12=X, 13=O, 14=I, 15=E — so “B T E X O I E” — not.

But if we take B at 9, T at 10, E at 11, then if there was R, but it's X.

Unless it's "BUTTER" and then "FLY" elsewhere, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps "BUTTERFLY" is written as two parts, but unlikely.

Let's try to find "SEEDS" in row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — positions 8=S, 9=E, 10=E, 11=T — not D.

But position 15=N — not S.

Row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has S at 7, L at 8, V at 9, E at 10, X at 11, E at 12, Z at 13, M at 14, D at 15 — so “S L V E X E Z M D” — not seeds.

But if we take E at 10, X at 11, E at 12 — not E E D S.

Perhaps "SEEDS" is in row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S — has S at 3, F at 4, C at 5 — not.

I recall that in some word searches, words can be diagonal, but let's assume not for now.

Let's try "GARDEN" in row 11: G I T L I R P A R S Z Y P E N — has G at 1, then later A at 8, R at 9 — not consecutive.

But if we take G at 1, A at 8, R at 9, D? No D.

Row 12: G N I R P S M S E E T R K R N — G at 1, N at 2, I at 3, R at 4, P at 5 — not A.

What about row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has D at 4, R at 5, A at 6, G at 7 — so “D R A G” — then K — not E N.

But "DRAG" is not "GARDEN".

Perhaps "GARDEN" is in reverse: N-E-D-R-A-G.

Look for N E D R A G.

In row 4: positions 4=D, 5=R, 6=A, 7=G — so “D R A G” — then if N before, position 3=E, 2=N, 1=Q — so “Q N E D R A G” — so from position 2 to 7: N E D R A G — which is "GARDEN" backwards! G (7), A (6), R (5), D (4), E (3), N (2) — so reading right to left from col 7 to 2: G-A-R-D-E-N.

Yes! So "GARDEN" is in row 4, columns 2 to 7, reading right to left.

Great!

So now we have:
- KITE: row 3, cols 1-4 (right to left)
- WARM: row 13, cols 4-7 (right to left)
- APRIL: row 11, cols 4-8 (right to left)
- WINDY: row 1, cols 4-8 (right to left)
- GARDEN: row 4, cols 2-7 (right to left)

Now let's find "BLOOM".

B-L-O-O-M.

Row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — positions 10=L, 11=O, 12=O, 13=M — so “L O O M” — missing B at start.

Position 9=V — not B.

But what if B is at position 8? P — not B.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — starts with B, then R — not L.

Unless it's not in this row.

Row 4: Q N E D R A G K B T E X O I E — has B at 9, T at 10 — not L.

Perhaps "BLOOM" is in row 8, and the B is at position 7 or something.

Position 7=S, 8=P, 9=V, 10=L — not B.

Let's look at row 6: D C C U I H M Q O R J P U F S — has O at 9, R at 10, J at 11, P at 12 — not bloom.

Another idea: perhaps "BLOOM" is vertical.

Column 13: W,W,K,O,Z,U,L,O,H,T,Y,K,A,U — has O at row 4, Z at 5, U at 6, L at 7, O at 8, H at 9, T at 10, Y at 11, K at 12, A at 13, U at 14 — so from row 4 to 8: O,Z,U,L,O — not bloom.

From row 7 to 11: L,O,H,T,Y — not.

Column 12: R,J,O,X,E,P,S,O,C,P,Z,R,F,G — has O at row 3, X at 4, E at 5, P at 6, S at 7, O at 8, C at 9, P at 10, Z at 11, R at 12, F at 13, G at 14 — so from row 3 to 8: O,X,E,P,S,O — not bloom.

Perhaps "BLOOM" is in row 8, and we have "L O O M" at 10-13, and if B is at 9, but it's V.

Unless it's a different row.

Let's try row 3: E T I K D J S U O T N O K F E — has O at 9, T at 10, N at 11, O at 12 — not bloom.

Row 2: R X S F C O V O L U L J W U S — has O at 6, V at 7, O at 8, L at 9, U at 10, L at 11, J at 12, W at 13, U at 14, S at 15 — so “O V O L U L J W U S” — not bloom.

But has "O L" at 8-9, then U — not O O M.

I think I found it.

In row 8: E J S U G U S P V L O O M A V — positions 10=L, 11=O, 12=O, 13=M — so “L O O M” — and if we consider that "B" might be at position 9, but it's V, not B.

Unless it's "BLOOM" with B at position 8, but P.

Perhaps it's in row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — has B at 1, R at 2, E at 3, V at 4, C at 5, L at 6, N at 7, N at 8, S at 9, T at 10, Y at 11, C at 12, H at 13, I at 14, W at 15 — so “B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W” — not bloom.

But has "L" at 6, "N" at 7, "N" at 8 — not O O M.

Let's give up on "BLOOM" for now and find "NEST".

N-E-S-T.

Row 9: B R E V C L N N S T Y C H I W — positions 7=N, 8=N, 9=S, 10=T — so “N N S T” — if it were N E S T, but it's N N S T.

Unless the first N is for "NEST", and the second N is for something else, but typically each letter is used once.

Perhaps "NEST" is in row 5: I P F N H P S L V E X E Z M D — has N at 4, H at 5, P at 6, S at 7 — so “N H P S” — not NEST.

Row 14: V T T P N O B X H J H G U M B — has N at 5, O at 6, B at 7 — not E S T.

What about row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — has E at 10, T at 11, P at 12, T at 13, E at 14, Y at 15 — so “E T P T E Y” — not NEST.

Perhaps "NEST" is vertical.

Column 9: S,L,O,B,S,O,S,V,U,E,R,E,E,H — has S at row 1, L at 2, O at 3, B at 4, S at 5, O at 6, S at 7, V at 8, U at 9, E at 10, R at 11, E at 12, E at 13, H at 14 — so from row 10 to 13: E,R,E,E — not NEST.

Column 10: B,U,T,T,E,R,F,L,T,P,S,T,B,J — has E at row 5, R at 6, F at 7, L at 8, T at 9, P at 10, S at 11, T at 12, B at 13, J at 14 — so from row 5 to 8: E,R,F,L — not NEST.

Let's try "MAY" one more time.

Perhaps in row 10: O A W Y A M P J U E T P T E Y — positions 5=A, 6=M, 7=P — not Y.

But at the beginning: O A W Y — so "A W Y" — not MAY.

Unless "MAY" is M-A-Y, and if we have M at 6, A at 5, Y at 4 — so positions 4=Y, 5=A, 6=M — so “Y A M” — which is "MAY" backwards! M (6), A (5), Y (4) — yes! So "MAY" is in row 10, columns 4 to 6, reading right to left.

Great!

So now we have:
- KITE: row 3, cols 1-4 (right to left)
- WARM: row 13, cols 4-7 (right to left)
- APRIL: row 11, cols 4-8 (right to left)
- WINDY: row 1, cols 4-8 (right to
