Let’s solve this word search together!

We are looking for 10 hidden words in the grid. The words to find are:

- able
- obeyed
- weak
- ray
- first
- sick
- much
- freeze

Wait — that’s only 8 words listed at the bottom. Let me double-check… Actually, looking again, there are 9 words listed:

From left to right, top to bottom:

Row 1: able, weak, first, much
Row 2: obeyed, ray, sick, freeze

That’s 8 words total. But let’s count them carefully from the image description:

Actually, rechecking — the list is:

able
obeyed
weak
ray
first
sick
much
freeze

Yes, 8 words.

Now, we need to find each of these words in the letter grid. Words can be horizontal (left to right), vertical (top to bottom), or even diagonal — but usually in 3rd grade worksheets, they’re mostly horizontal and vertical. We’ll check both directions.

Let’s go one word at a time.

Step 1: Find “able”

Look for A-B-L-E in order.

Scan row by row.

Row 7: B C A V U B I I W A → has “A” at position 3 and 10.

Check around those.

In row 7, column 3 is “A”, then next is “V” — not “B”.

Row 8: O G W T L W O C V F → no “A”

Row 9: D O H E V S H K J → no “A”

Row 10: K I J E Z W W H Z U → no “A”

Wait — maybe vertical?

Look at column 1: E, D, D, E, Y, E, B, O, D, K → no “A”

Column 2: L, F, Q, Z, K, D, C, G, O, I → no “A”

Column 3: U, I, U, B, M, B, A, W, H, J → Ah! Row 7, column 3 is “A”

Then below it: row 8 col 3 = W → not B

Above it: row 6 col 3 = B → so if we go up: row 6 col 3 = B, row 5 col 3 = M, row 4 col 3 = Z — not helpful.

Wait — what about row 7, column 10 is “A” — let’s check that.

Row 7: ... I I W A → so column 10 is “A”

Below it: row 8 col 10 = F → not B

Above it: row 6 col 10 = R → not B

Hmm.

Maybe “able” is backward? Sometimes words go right to left.

Try row 7: ... W A → if we go left from A: A, W — not L,B.

Wait — look at row 1: E L U F O L M O E L

No “A”

Row 2: D F I R S T U X W V → has “I”, “R”, “S”, “T” — that’s “first”! Wait, we’ll get to that.

Back to “able”.

What about row 4: E Z B E T G H T A D → ends with “A D” — not helpful.

Row 5: Y K K Z M S H E K E → no “A”

Row 6: E D B E S S A R A Y → here! Column 7 is “A”, column 8 is “R”, column 9 is “A”, column 10 is “Y”

So “A R A Y” — that’s “aray”? Not “able”.

But wait — column 7 is “A”, then above it row 5 col 7 = H, row 4 col 7 = H, row 3 col 7 = G — not B,L,E.

Another idea: maybe “able” is vertical starting at row 7 col 3 = A, then down? Row 8 col 3 = W — no.

Wait — let’s try row 10: K I J E Z W W H Z U — no “A”

Perhaps I missed it.

Let’s list all positions of “A” in the grid:

Row 3: Q U E P G C E E L → no A

Row 4: E Z B E T G H T A D → column 9 = A

Row 6: E D B E S S A R A Y → columns 7 and 9 = A

Row 7: B C A V U B I I W A → columns 3 and 10 = A

Row 8: O G W T L W O C V F → no A

Row 9: D O H E V S H K J → no A

Row 10: K I J E Z W W H Z U → no A

Row 1: no A

Row 2: no A

Row 5: no A

So A’s are at:

- (4,9)
- (6,7), (6,9)
- (7,3), (7,10)

Now, for “able” — A-B-L-E

Try (7,3): A — then right: V — not B

Down: row 8 col 3 = W — not B

Up: row 6 col 3 = B — oh! So (6,3)=B, (7,3)=A — that’s backwards.

If we go up from (7,3): (6,3)=B, (5,3)=M — not L

Not working.

Try (6,7)=A — right: R — not B

Left: S — not B

Up: row 5 col 7 = H — not B

Down: row 7 col 7 = I — not B

Try (6,9)=A — right: Y — not B

Left: R — not B

Up: row 5 col 9 = K — not B

Down: row 7 col 9 = W — not B

Try (4,9)=A — right: D — not B

Left: T — not B

Up: row 3 col 9 = L — oh! (3,9)=L, (4,9)=A — so L-A — not A-B

Down: row 5 col 9 = K — not B

This is tricky.

Perhaps “able” is in row 7: B C A V U B I I W A — if we take positions 3,4,5,6: A,V,U,B — not able.

Or positions 10,9,8,7: A,W,I,I — no.

Wait — what if it's vertical downward from (7,10)=A? Row 8 col 10=F, row 9 col 10=J, row 10 col 10=U — not B,L,E.

I think I made a mistake. Let's look for "obeyed" instead — maybe that's easier.

Step 2: Find “obeyed”

O-B-E-Y-E-D

Look for O first.

Row 1: E L U F O L M O E L — has O at col 5 and col 8

Col 5: O — then right: L — not B

Col 8: O — right: E — not B

Down from col 5: row 2 col 5 = S — not B

Down from col 8: row 2 col 8 = X — not B

Row 6: E D B E S S A R A Y — no O

Row 7: B C A V U B I I W A — no O

Row 8: O G W T L W O C V F — O at col 1 and col 7

Col 1: O — right: G — not B

Col 7: O — right: C — not B

Down from col 1: row 9 col 1 = D — not B

Down from col 7: row 9 col 7 = H — not B

Row 9: D O H E V S H K J — O at col 2

Col 2: O — right: H — not B

Down: row 10 col 2 = I — not B

Row 10: K I J E Z W W H Z U — no O
