Let’s solve this Math Word Search Puzzle step by step.

We are given a grid of letters and a Word Bank with 10 math-related words:

- Addition
- Pentagon
- Multiplication
- Fraction
- Division
- Square *(note: spelled “Sqaure” in the word bank — likely a typo, but we’ll look for “Square”)*
- Multiplication Table
- Hexagon
- Polygon
- Subtraction

Our job is to find each of these words hidden in the letter grid. Words can be horizontal (left to right or right to left), vertical (top to bottom or bottom to top), or diagonal — as long as they’re in a straight line.

---

Let’s go one word at a time and scan the grid carefully.

1. Addition

Look for A-D-D-I-T-I-O-N

Scan row by row...

→ Row 7: `L I F Z G A D D I T I O N R D A F` → YES! Starting at column 6: A D D I T I O N

✔ Found: Addition — Row 7, columns 6–13

---

2. Pentagon

P-E-N-T-A-G-O-N

Scan...

→ Row 14: `N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E` → No

→ Row 15: `T J S R A S R O G O R N D S D G G` → No

Wait — try vertical?

Check column 8 from top down:

Row 1: V
Row 2: A
Row 3: T
Row 4: P
Row 5: I
Row 6: M
Row 7: I
Row 8: C
Row 9: S
Row 10: M
Row 11: H
Row 12: X
Row 13: N
Row 14: Q
Row 15: O
Row 16: R
Row 17: H
Row 18: K
Row 19: L
Row 20: Y

No.

Try diagonal? Maybe later.

Wait — let’s check row 10: `C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D` → no

Hold on — maybe it's backwards? Or another direction.

Actually, let’s skip and come back if needed.

---

3. Multiplication

M-U-L-T-I-P-L-I-C-A-T-I-O-N — that’s 14 letters!

That’s very long. Let’s look for it.

Scan rows...

→ Row 19: `E Q R M U L T I P L I C A T I O N` → YES! Columns 4–17: M U L T I P L I C A T I O N

✔ Found: Multiplication — Row 19, columns 4–17

---

4. Fraction

F-R-A-C-T-I-O-N

Look for it.

→ Row 5: `T U L F R A C T I O N B F M L E F` → Columns 4–11: F R A C T I O N

✔ Found: Fraction — Row 5, columns 4–11

---

5. Division

D-I-V-I-S-I-O-N

Look for it.

→ Row 10: `C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D` → Columns 3–10: D I V I S I O N

✔ Found: Division — Row 10, columns 3–10

---

6. Square (spelled “Sqaure” in word bank — probably typo)

Look for S-Q-U-A-R-E

But wait — maybe it’s spelled correctly in the grid? Let’s assume we’re looking for “Square”.

Scan...

→ Row 17: `B R P F E H S A N G H I S H Q G A` → has “S A” but not full word.

→ Row 18: `L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X` → no

Wait — maybe vertical?

Column 12:

Row 1: G
Row 2: Z
Row 3: I
Row 4: E
Row 5: B
Row 6: G
Row 7: O
Row 8: B
Row 9: R
Row 10: P
Row 11: L
Row 12: G
Row 13: R
Row 14: A
Row 15: N
Row 16: G
Row 17: H
Row 18: V
Row 19: C
Row 20: G

No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “Sqaure” as written? That would be S-Q-A-U-R-E — unusual spelling.

Maybe it’s hidden diagonally? This might take more time.

Alternatively — maybe it’s in row 16: `A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W` → no

Let’s hold off and check others first.

---

7. Multiplication Table

This is two words: “Multiplication” + “Table”

We already found “Multiplication” in row 19.

Now look for “Table” nearby?

After “Multiplication” in row 19 ends at column 17 (“N”), then next letters are: column 18: O, 19: N — so no “Table” after.

Maybe “Table” is elsewhere?

Look for T-A-B-L-E

→ Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E → no

→ Row 2: M J H E R O M A R D A E Z F H T F → has “T” at end, but not full word.

→ Row 11: `A W U A R D M O R V A O W O R N G` → no

Wait — maybe vertical?

Column 15:

Row 1: R
Row 2: H
Row 3: O
Row 4: M
Row 5: L
Row 6: T
Row 7: I
Row 8: E
Row 9: A
Row 10: X
Row 11: R
Row 12: G
Row 13: G
Row 14: L
Row 15: O
Row 16: D
Row 17: W
Row 18: B
Row 19: A
Row 20: H

No “TABLE”.

Perhaps “Multiplication Table” is not together? But the word bank lists it as one entry — so likely meant to be found as a phrase.

Wait — maybe it’s split? Unlikely.

Alternative idea: Maybe “Table” is hidden separately? But the instruction says “find all the words from the Word Bank”, and “Multiplication Table” is listed as one item — so we should treat it as one multi-word term.

But since “Multiplication” is already found, and “Table” may not be adjacent, perhaps we need to find “Table” alone? But it’s not in the word bank alone.

Hmm. Let’s re-read the word bank:

> Addition
> Pentagon
> Multiplication
> Fraction
> Division
> Sqaure
> Multiplication Table
> Hexagon
> Polygon
> Subtraction

So “Multiplication Table” is one entry — meaning we must find both words together in sequence.

Since we found “Multiplication” in row 19, let’s check what comes after it in that row:

Row 19: `E Q R M U L T I P L I C A T I O N K S J ...`

After “MULTIPLICATION” (ends at column 17: N), then column 18: K, 19: S — not “TABLE”.

What about before? Before “M” is “R” — not helpful.

Maybe it’s in another row?

Search for “TABLE” anywhere.

→ Row 1: ...G E R O K E — no

→ Row 2: ...Z F H T F — has “T” but not full

→ Row 3: ...O N E W — no

→ Row 4: ...M U P E — no

→ Row 5: ...B F M L E F — no

→ Row 6: ...G T T A N A — no

→ Row 7: ...R D A F — no

→ Row 8: ...B E Z M G Q — no

→ Row 9: ...R A X O D — no

→ Row 10: ...W O R N G — no

→ Row 11: ...H J D — no

→ Row 12: ...R D J I — no

→ Row 13: ...S D E — no

→ Row 14: ...S D G G — no

→ Row 15: ...I D W — no

→ Row 16: ...H Q G A — no

→ Row 17: ...W O P X — no

→ Row 18: ...G H D K U H — no

Wait — maybe vertical?

Column 16:

Row 1: O
Row 2: T
Row 3: N
Row 4: U
Row 5: E
Row 6: A
Row 7: O
Row 8: Z
Row 9: X
Row 10: R
Row 11: G
Row 12: G
Row 13: L
Row 14: O
Row 15: D
Row 16: W
Row 17: O
Row 18: P
Row 19: T
Row 20: D

At row 19, col 16: T — then row 20, col 16: D — not “ABLE”

Not working.

Perhaps “Multiplication Table” is not present as a contiguous phrase? But that contradicts the puzzle design.

Wait — maybe I missed it.

Another approach: Look for “TABLE” starting somewhere.

Try row 1, column 14: G — no

Row 2, column 14: F — no

Row 3, column 14: E — no

Row 4, column 14: P — no

Row 5, column 14: L — no

Row 6, column 14: A — no

Row 7, column 14: O — no

Row 8, column 14: M — no

Row 9, column 14: X — no

Row 10, column 14: R — no

Row 11, column 14: G — no

Row 12, column 14: G — no

Row 13, column 14: L — no

Row 14, column 14: O — no

Row 15, column 14: D — no

Row 16, column 14: W — no

Row 17, column 14: O — no

Row 18, column 14: P — no

Row 19, column 14: A — no

Row 20, column 14: D — no

No “TABLE” found vertically either.

Diagonally? Too time-consuming for now.

Let’s move on and come back.

---

8. Hexagon

H-E-X-A-G-O-N

Look for it.

→ Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E — starts with E H — not H E

→ Row 2: M J H E R O M A R D A E Z F H T F — has “H E” at columns 3-4, then R — not X

→ Row 3: U F I D S U B T R A C T I O N E W — no

→ Row 4: L S G D O G E L P O Y D E M U P E — no

→ Row 5: T U L F R A C T I O N B F M L E F — no

→ Row 6: I K O D G N F M U L F G T T A N A — no

→ Row 7: P D E S D W J G A I O G F H F T G — no

→ Row 8: L I F Z G A D D I T I O N R D A F — no

→ Row 9: I C D F K H C O V F R B E Z M G Q — no

→ Row 10: C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D — has “X” at column 15, but not preceded by H E

Wait — row 10, column 15: X — before that: column 14: R, 13: A — so “R A X” — not “HEX”

Try vertical?

Column 1:

Row 1: E
Row 2: M
Row 3: U
Row 4: L
Row 5: T
Row 6: I
Row 7: P
Row 8: L
Row 9: I
Row 10: C
Row 11: A
Row 12: T
Row 13: I
Row 14: O
Row 15: N
Row 16: T
Row 17: A
Row 18: B
Row 19: E
Row 20: K

No H.

Column 2:

Row 1: H
Row 2: J
Row 3: F
Row 4: S
Row 5: U
Row 6: K
Row 7: D
Row 8: I
Row 9: C
Row 10: U
Row 11: W
Row 12: G
Row 13: H
Row 14: P
Row 15: W
Row 16: J
Row 17: Q
Row 18: R
Row 19: Q
Row 20: S

Row 1, col 2: H — then row 2, col 2: J — not E

Row 13, col 2: H — then row 14, col 2: P — not E

No.

Diagonal? Let’s try row 1, col 2: H — then row 2, col 3: H — not E

Wait — row 1, col 2: H
row 2, col 3: H — same letter

Not helping.

Another idea: Look for “HEXAGON” in reverse? N O G A X E H — unlikely.

Perhaps it’s in row 18: `L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X` — has “H” at col 2 and 4, but not followed by E

Wait — row 18, col 2: H — col 3: D — not E

Stuck.

Let’s try Polygon instead.

---

9. Polygon

P-O-L-Y-G-O-N

Look for it.

→ Row 4: L S G D O G E L P O Y D E M U P E — has “P O Y” at columns 9-11, then D — not G

→ Row 11: A W U A R D M O R V A O W O R N G — has “O R N G” at end — not POLYGON

→ Row 12: T G A O H J F S H R I L O R G L O — has “L O R G” — close but not quite

Wait — row 12, columns 10-16: I L O R G L O — no

Try vertical?

Column 9:

Row 1: I
Row 2: R
Row 3: B
Row 4: P
Row 5: I
Row 6: M
Row 7: G
Row 8: I
Row 9: S
Row 10: I
Row 11: M
Row 12: H
Row 13: F
Row 14: A
Row 15: R
Row 16: O
Row 17: H
Row 18: K
Row 19: L
Row 20: E

No P at start.

Column 10:

Row 1: V
Row 2: D
Row 3: T
Row 4: O
Row 5: O
Row 6: U
Row 7: A
Row 8: I
Row 9: I
Row 10: S
Row 11: O
Row 12: R
Row 13: S
Row 14: P
Row 15: O
Row 16: G
Row 17: D
Row 18: D
Row 19: I
Row 20: Y

Row 14, col 10: P — then row 15, col 10: O — row 16, col 10: G — not L

Not matching.

Diagonal? Hard.

Let’s try Subtraction

---

10. Subtraction

S-U-B-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N

Long word — 11 letters.

Look for it.

→ Row 3: U F I D S U B T R A C T I O N E W — YES! Columns 5–15: S U B T R A C T I O N

✔ Found: Subtraction — Row 3, columns 5–15

Great!

---

Back to Pentagon

P-E-N-T-A-G-O-N

Let’s search again.

Row 14: N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E — has “P E” at columns 10-11, then O — not N

Row 15: T J S R A S R O G O R N D S D G G — has “R N” at end — not helpful

Wait — row 16: A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W — no

Row 17: B R P F E H S A N G H I S H Q G A — has “P” at col 3, then F — not E

Vertical?

Column 3:

Row 1: W
Row 2: H
Row 3: I
Row 4: G
Row 5: L
Row 6: O
Row 7: E
Row 8: F
Row 9: D
Row 10: D
Row 11: U
Row 12: A
Row 13: E
Row 14: X
Row 15: S
Row 16: E
Row 17: P
Row 18: D
Row 19: R
Row 20: J

Row 17, col 3: P — then row 18, col 3: D — not E

No.

Diagonal? Try row 17, col 3: P — then row 18, col 4: H — not E

Another idea: Maybe it’s in row 1, but backwards? N O G A T N E P — unlikely.

Wait — let’s look at row 13: I H D E S C R A E L W Y R T H J D — no

Row 14: N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E — here, columns 10-17: P E O R A S D E — not pentagon

But notice: “P E” then “O” — if it were “P E N T A G O N”, we need N after E.

In row 14, after “P E” is “O” — not “N”

Unless it’s diagonal.

Try starting at row 14, col 10: P
then row 15, col 11: S — not E

No.

Perhaps it’s in column 11:

Row 1: D
Row 2: A
Row 3: R
Row 4: Y
Row 5: I
Row 6: L
Row 7: I
Row 8: O
Row 9: I
Row 10: I
Row 11: A
Row 12: H
Row 13: E
Row 14: E
Row 15: R
Row 16: R
Row 17: H
Row 18: F
Row 19: L
Row 20: K

No P.

I’m stuck on Pentagon for now.

Let’s try Hexagon again.

H-E-X-A-G-O-N

Look at row 18: L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X — has “H” at col 2 and 4, “X” at col 19 — too far

Row 10: C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D — has “X” at col 15, “A” at 14, “O” at 16, “D” at 17 — so “A X O D” — not HEXAGON

But “R A X O D” — if we had H E before, but we don’t.

Wait — row 10, col 13: R, 14: A, 15: X, 16: O, 17: D — so “RAXOD” — not helpful.

Another thought: Maybe “Hexagon” is in row 1, but we missed it.

Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E — positions: col 2: H, col 3: W — not E

No.

Let’s try Square again — even though it’s misspelled as “Sqaure” in word bank.

Assume we’re to find “Square” — S-Q-U-A-R-E

Look for it.

Row 16: A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W — has “Q E S R” — not S Q U

Row 17: B R P F E H S A N G H I S H Q G A — has “S A” and “Q G” — not together

Row 18: L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X — has “Y Q K” — not S Q U

Vertical?

Column 12:

As before — no S at start.

Column 13:

Row 1: E
Row 2: Z
Row 3: I
Row 4: E
Row 5: B
Row 6: G
Row 7: O
Row 8: B
Row 9: R
Row 10: P
Row 11: L
Row 12: G
Row 13: G
Row 14: L
Row 15: O
Row 16: D
Row 17: W
Row 18: B
Row 19: C
Row 20: G

No S.

Perhaps it’s “Sqaure” as written — S-Q-A-U-R-E

Then look for S-Q-A-U-R-E

Row 16: A Q E S R D ... — has “Q E S” — not S Q A

Row 17: ...S H Q G A — has “S H Q” — not S Q A

Row 18: ...Y Q K D G — no

Row 19: ...L I C A T I O N — no

Row 20: K S J K R G E Y F Z D G H D K U H — has “K S J” — not S Q A

Still not finding it.

Let’s try Polygon again.

P-O-L-Y-G-O-N

Look at row 4: L S G D O G E L P O Y D E M U P E — columns 9-11: P O Y — then D — not G

But if we go diagonal? From row 4, col 9: P
row 5, col 10: I — not O

No.

Row 12: T G A O H J F S H R I L O R G L O — columns 10-16: I L O R G L O — not polygon

Wait — row 12, col 11: L, col 12: O, col 13: R, col 14: G, col 15: L, col 16: O — so “LORGLO” — not helpful.

Another idea: Perhaps "Polygon" is in row 1, but we need to read backwards.

Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E — backwards: E K O R E G D S V I D E A R W H E — no P

I'm missing some.

Let's list what we have found so far:

✔ Addition — row 7, cols 6-13
✔ Fraction — row 5, cols 4-11
✔ Division — row 10, cols 3-10
✔ Multiplication — row 19, cols 4-17
✔ Subtraction — row 3, cols 5-15

That's 5 out of 10.

Missing: Pentagon, Square/Sqaure, Multiplication Table, Hexagon, Polygon

Let's try Multiplication Table again.

Perhaps "Table" is in row 1, but where?

Row 1: ...G E R O K E — no

Wait — row 2: ...Z F H T F — has "T" at col 14

Row 3: ...O N E W — no

Row 4: ...M U P E — no

Row 5: ...B F M L E F — no

Row 6: ...G T T A N A — has "T T A" — not TABLE

Row 7: ...R D A F — no

Row 8: ...B E Z M G Q — no

Row 9: ...R A X O D — no

Row 10: ...W O R N G — no

Row 11: ...H J D — no

Row 12: ...R D J I — no

Row 13: ...S D E — no

Row 14: ...S D G G — no

Row 15: ...I D W — no

Row 16: ...H Q G A — no

Row 17: ...W O P X — no

Row 18: ...G H D K U H — no

Perhaps "Table" is vertical.

Column 14:

Row 1: G
Row 2: Z
Row 3: I
Row 4: E
Row 5: B
Row 6: G
Row 7: O
Row 8: B
Row 9: R
Row 10: P
Row 11: L
Row 12: G
Row 13: G
Row 14: L
Row 15: O
Row 16: D
Row 17: W
Row 18: B
Row 19: A
Row 20: D

No T at start.

Column 15:

Row 1: R
Row 2: H
Row 3: O
Row 4: M
Row 5: L
Row 6: T
Row 7: I
Row 8: E
Row 9: A
Row 10: X
Row 11: R
Row 12: G
Row 13: G
Row 14: L
Row 15: O
Row 16: D
Row 17: W
Row 18: P
Row 19: T
Row 20: D

Row 6, col 15: T — then row 7, col 15: I — not A

Row 19, col 15: T — then row 20, col 15: D — not A

No "TABLE".

Perhaps "Multiplication Table" is not meant to be found as a single phrase, but that doesn't make sense.

Another possibility: Maybe "Table" is part of "Multiplication Table" but in a different location.

Or perhaps I misread the grid.

Let's look at row 19 again: `E Q R M U L T I P L I C A T I O N K S J K R G E Y F Z D G H D K U H`

After "MULTIPLICATION" (cols 4-17), then col 18: K, 19: S, 20: J — not "TABLE"

Before "M" is "R" — not helpful.

Perhaps "Table" is in row 20: K S J K R G E Y F Z D G H D K U H — no T

I think there might be a mistake, or I'm missing something obvious.

Let's try Hexagon one more time.

H-E-X-A-G-O-N

Look at row 10: C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D — cols 13-17: R A X O D — if we had H E before, but we don't.

But what if it's diagonal from row 9, col 12: B — not H

Row 8, col 11: O — not H

Row 7, col 10: I — not H

Row 6, col 9: M — not H

Row 5, col 8: C — not H

Row 4, col 7: E — not H

Row 3, col 6: U — not H

Row 2, col 5: R — not H

Row 1, col 4: R — not H

No.

Perhaps it's in row 18: L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X — col 2: H, col 3: D — not E

Col 4: H, col 5: D — not E

Col 19: X — then col 20: nothing

Not working.

Let's try Pentagon with a new approach.

P-E-N-T-A-G-O-N

Look for "PENT" first.

Row 14: N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E — col 10: P, col 11: E, col 12: O — not N

Row 15: T J S R A S R O G O R N D S D G G — col 1: T, not P

Row 16: A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W — no P

Row 17: B R P F E H S A N G H I S H Q G A — col 3: P, col 4: F — not E

Row 18: L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X — col 18: P, col 19: X — not E

Row 19: E Q R M U L T I P L I C A T I O N K S J ... — col 9: P, col 10: L — not E

Row 20: K S J K R G E Y F Z D G H D K U H — no P

Vertical? Column 3: as before, no P at start of pentagon.

Column 9: row 4: P, then row 5: I — not E

Column 10: row 14: P, then row 15: S — not E

Column 18: row 18: P, then row 19: K — not E

No.

Perhaps it's in row 1, but we need to read from right to left.

Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E — backwards: E K O R E G D S V I D E A R W H E — no P

I recall that in some puzzles, "Pentagon" might be hidden in a less obvious way.

Let's look at row 13: I H D E S C R A E L W Y R T H J D — no

Row 14: N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E — here, if we take col 10: P, col 11: E, then col 12: O — but we need N after E for "PEN", but it's O.

Unless it's "PE" then skip, but no, must be consecutive.

Another idea: Perhaps "Pentagon" is in column 11, but from bottom up.

Column 11:

Row 20: K
Row 19: L
Row 18: B
Row 17: W
Row 16: D
Row 15: O
Row 14: L
Row 13: G
Row 12: G
Row 11: L
Row 10: P
Row 9: R
Row 8: B
Row 7: O
Row 6: G
Row 5: B
Row 4: Y
Row 3: I
Row 2: A
Row 1: D

No P at start.

I think I need to accept that I may have missed some, but let's try Polygon one last time.

P-O-L-Y-G-O-N

Look at row 4: L S G D O G E L P O Y D E M U P E — col 9: P, col 10: O, col 11: Y — then col 12: D — not G

But if we go to col 13: E — not G

However, in row 4, col 14: M — not G

But notice: after "POY" is "D", but if we consider that "G" might be elsewhere.

Perhaps it's in row 12: T G A O H J F S H R I L O R G L O — col 10: I, col 11: L, col 12: O, col 13: R, col 14: G, col 15: L, col 16: O — so "ILORGLO" — not polygon

But "L O R G" — if we had P O before, but we don't.

Wait — row 12, col 8: S, col 9: H, col 10: R, col 11: I, col 12: L, col 13: O, col 14: R, col 15: G, col 16: L, col 17: O — so "SHRI LORGLO" — not helpful.

Perhaps "Polygon" is in row 1, but we need to read diagonal.

Start at row 1, col 1: E — not P

Row 1, col 2: H — not P

etc.

I recall that in the initial scan, I might have missed "Hexagon" in row 10.

Row 10: C U D I V I S I O N B P R A X O D — let's write it out:

Col 1: C
2: U
3: D
4: I
5: V
6: I
7: S
8: I
9: O
10: N
11: B
12: P
13: R
14: A
15: X
16: O
17: D

So "R A X O D" at cols 13-17.

If we had "H E" before "R", but we have "B P" at 11-12.

Not "HE".

But what if "Hexagon" is "H E X A G O N" and it's in a different orientation.

Let's try row 18: L H D H D F Y Q K D G V B W O P X — col 2: H, col 3: D — not E

Col 4: H, col 5: D — not E

Col 19: X — then if we go back, col 18: P, col 17: O, col 16: W, col 15: B, col 14: V, col 13: G, col 12: D, col 11: K, col 10: Q, col 9: Y, col 8: F, col 7: D, col 6: D, col 5: H, col 4: H, col 3: D, col 2: H, col 1: L — so from col 19: X, then col 18: P, not A

Not working.

Perhaps "Square" is in row 16: A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W — col 4: S, col 5: R — not Q

Col 2: Q, col 3: E — not S

Col 1: A, col 2: Q, col 3: E — so "A Q E" — not S Q U

But if we take col 4: S, then col 2: Q — not adjacent.

I think I need to conclude that I have found 5 for sure, and for the remaining 5, I may have missed them, but let's double-check the grid for "Pentagon" by looking at row 14 again.

Row 14: N W O G U H N Q A P E O R A S D E

Positions:
1:N, 2:W, 3:O, 4:G, 5:U, 6:H, 7:N, 8:Q, 9:A, 10:P, 11:E, 12:O, 13:R, 14:A, 15:S, 16:D, 17:E

So at col 10: P, col 11: E, col 12: O — but for "PENT", we need N after E, but it's O.

However, if we consider that "Pentagon" might be "P E N T A G O N", and in this row, after "P E" is "O", not "N", so not there.

But what if it's in row 15: T J S R A S R O G O R N D S D G G

Col 1: T, 2:J, 3:S, 4:R, 5:A, 6:S, 7:R, 8:O, 9:G, 10:O, 11:R, 12:N, 13:D, 14:S, 15:D, 16:G, 17:G

Has "R N" at col 11-12, but not "P E N"

No.

Perhaps "Pentagon" is vertical in column 10.

Column 10:
Row 1: V
2: D
3: T
4: O
5: O
6: U
7: A
8: I
9: S
10: I
11: M
12: H
13: F
14: A
15: R
16: O
17: H
18: K
19: L
20: E

No P.

I give up on Pentagon for now.

Let's try Hexagon in row 1, but with a different start.

Row 1: E H W R A E D I V S D G E R O K E

Col 2: H, col 3: W — not E

But if we read from col 2: H, then col 1: E — but that's backwards, and not consecutive in the same direction.

Usually, words are in straight lines, not zigzag.

Perhaps "Hexagon" is in row 20: K S J K R G E Y F Z D G H D K U H — col 13: G, col 14: H, col 15: D — not X

Col 12: D, col 13: G, col 14: H — not X

No.

Another idea: Perhaps "Square" is "Sqaure" as written, and it's in row 16: A Q E S R D R H O D V G A W I D W — col 2: Q, col 3: E, col 4: S — so "Q E S" — not S Q A

But if we take col 4: S, col 2: Q — not adjacent.

Unless it's diagonal.

From row 16, col 4: S
row 17, col 3: P — not Q

No.

Perhaps in row 17: B R P F E H S A N G H I S H Q G A — col 7: S, col 8: A, col 9: N — not Q

Col 15: Q, col 16: G — not S

I think I have to admit that I may not find all, but let's look for "Polygon" in row 4 again.

Row 4: L S G D O G E L P O Y D E M U P E

Col 9: P, col 10: O, col 11: Y — then if we go to col 12: D, but we need G for "POLYG", but it's D.

However, in the same row, col 6: G, col 7: E — not related.

But notice: after "POY" is "D", but if we consider that "G" might be in col 6, but not connected.

Perhaps "Polygon" is in row 12: T G A O H J F S H R I L O R G L O

Col 14: G, col 15: L, col 16: O — so "G L O" — not helpful.

Col 13: R, col 14: G, col 15: L, col 16: O — "RGLO" — not polygon.

I recall that in some puzzles, "Polygon" might be hidden as "POLYGON" in a diagonal.

Let's try from row 4
