Let’s solve this step by step.

First, we need to write the missing letters for each number from 1 to 12. The first letter is given, and we fill in the rest to spell the English word for that number.

Here are the numbers and their full spellings:

1 → one → o _ _ → so: o n e
2 → two → t _ _ → so: t w o
3 → three → t _ _ _ _ → so: t h r e e
4 → four → f _ _ _ → so: f o u r
5 → five → f _ _ _ → so: f i v e
6 → six → s _ _ → so: s i x
7 → seven → s _ _ _ _ → so: s e v e n
8 → eight → e _ _ _ _ → so: e i g h t
9 → nine → n _ _ _ → so: n i n e
10 → ten → t _ _ → so: t e n
11 → eleven → e _ _ _ _ _ → so: e l e v e n
12 → twelve → t _ _ _ _ _ → so: t w e l v e

Now, let’s list all the completed words:

- one
- two
- three
- four
- five
- six
- seven
- eight
- nine
- ten
- eleven
- twelve

Next, we look at the word search grid. We’re told words are hidden left to right (horizontally) and down (vertically). We need to find these 12 number words in the grid.

Let’s go row by row and column by column to locate them.

Grid (rows labeled 1 to 7 for reference):

Row 1: T E N J A Z B S A E
Row 2: W Z Q C F I V E F I
Row 3: E L E V E N M V O G
Row 4: L K D Y A P J E U H
Row 5: V J T W O B Z N R T
Row 6: E X M A N I N E Q P
Row 7: T H R E E D K S I X

Now, let’s find each word:

TEN – Row 1, columns 1–3: T-E-N → found!

FIVE – Row 2, columns 5–8: F-I-V-E → found!

ELEVEN – Row 3, columns 1–6: E-L-E-V-E-N → found!

TWO – Row 5, columns 3–5: T-W-O → found!

NINE – Row 6, columns 5–8: N-I-N-E → found!

THREE – Row 7, columns 1–5: T-H-R-E-E → found!

SIX – Row 7, columns 8–10? Wait — row 7 ends with “D K S I X” → positions 8,9,10? Let’s count:

Row 7:
Col1:T, Col2:H, Col3:R, Col4:E, Col5:E, Col6:D, Col7:K, Col8:S, Col9:I, Col10:X → So “SIX” is cols 8–10: S-I-X → yes! Found.

Now check verticals or other horizontals for remaining: four, seven, eight, one, twelve.

Wait — we have 12 words total. We’ve found: ten, five, eleven, two, nine, three, six → that’s 7.

Missing: one, four, seven, eight, twelve.

Check vertically.

Look for ONE:

Check column 1: T, W, E, L, V, E, T → no.

Column 2: E, Z, L, K, J, X, H → no.

Column 3: N, Q, E, D, T, M, R → no.

Column 4: J, C, V, Y, W, A, E → no.

Column 5: A, F, E, A, O, N, E → A-F-E-A-O-N-E → not “one”.

Wait — maybe “one” is vertical somewhere else?

Try column 9: A, F, O, U, R, Q, I → no.

Wait — perhaps “one” is in row 6? Row 6: E X M A N I N E Q P → has “MANINE” — not helpful.

Wait — let’s try FOUR.

Is “four” in the grid?

Look at row 2: ...C F I V E... — no.

Row 4: L K D Y A P J E U H — no.

Vertical? Try column 5: A, F, E, A, O, N, E — starts with A,F,E — not four.

Wait — what about row 5: V J T W O B Z N R T — has “TWO”, already found.

Wait — let’s look again at row 6: E X M A N I N E Q P — “ANINE” — close to “nine”, but we already have nine at cols 5–8: N-I-N-E.

Wait — perhaps “four” is vertical.

Try column 6: Z, I, N, P, B, I, D — no.

Column 7: B, V, M, J, Z, N, K — no.

Column 8: S, E, V, E, N, E, S — S-E-V-E-N-E-S → wait! That’s “SEVEN” starting at row 2 col8? Let’s see:

Row 2 col8: E
Row 3 col8: V
Row 4 col8: E
Row 5 col8: N
→ That’s E-V-E-N — not quite.

Wait — row 2 col5–8: F-I-V-E → already have.

What about row 3 col8: V, row4 col8: E, row5 col8: N, row6 col8: E → V-E-N-E — not a word.

Wait — let’s try SEVEN horizontally.

Row 3: E L E V E N M V O G — has “ELEVEN”, then “MVOG” — no seven.

Row 4: L K D Y A P J E U H — no.

Row 5: V J T W O B Z N R T — no.

Row 6: E X M A N I N E Q P — no.

Row 7: T H R E E D K S I X — no.

Wait — perhaps “seven” is vertical.

Try column 4: J, C, V, Y, W, A, E — no.

Column 5: A, F, E, A, O, N, E — A-F-E-A-O-N-E — if we take rows 2–6: F,E,A,O,N — not seven.

Wait — here’s an idea: look at row 2, col5–8: F-I-V-E → that’s five.

But what about row 3, col1–6: E-L-E-V-E-N → eleven.

Now, look at row 6, col5–8: N-I-N-E → nine.

Row 7, col1–5: T-H-R-E-E → three.

Row 7, col8–10: S-I-X → six.

Row 1, col1–3: T-E-N → ten.

Row 5, col3–5: T-W-O → two.

That’s 8 words.

Still missing: one, four, seven, eight, twelve.

Wait — let’s check vertical for EIGHT.

Column 9: A, F, O, U, R, Q, I — A-F-O-U-R-Q-I — not eight.

Column 10: E, I, G, H, T, P, X — oh! Look:

Row 1 col10: E
Row 2 col10: I
Row 3 col10: G
Row 4 col10: H
Row 5 col10: T
→ E-I-G-H-T → that’s “EIGHT” vertically down column 10, rows 1 to 5! Found!

Great.

Now, TWELVE — 6 letters.

Where could it be?

Horizontally? Row 3: E L E V E N — too short.

Row 6: E X M A N I N E — no.

Vertically? Try column 1: T,W,E,L,V,E,T — T-W-E-L-V-E-T → that’s 7 letters. First 6: T-W-E-L-V-E → that’s “TWELVE”! Rows 1 to 6, column 1:

Row1 col1: T
Row2 col1: W
Row3 col1: E
Row4 col1: L
Row5 col1: V
Row6 col1: E
→ T-W-E-L-V-E → perfect! That’s “twelve” vertically down column 1, rows 1–6. Found!

Now we have: ten, five, eleven, two, nine, three, six, eight, twelve → 9 words.

Missing: one, four, seven.

Now, ONE — 3 letters.

We haven’t found it yet.

Try vertical columns.

Column 2: E,Z,L,K,J,X,H — no.

Column 3: N,Q,E,D,T,M,R — no.

Column 4: J,C,V,Y,W,A,E — no.

Column 5: A,F,E,A,O,N,E — let’s see: row2 col5: F, row3 col5: E, row4 col5: A — not one.

Wait — row 6 col6–8: I-N-E — but that’s part of “nine” which is cols5–8: N-I-N-E.

What about row 4 col8–10: E,U,H — no.

Wait — perhaps “one” is in row 6, col6–8? But that’s I-N-E — not O-N-E.

Unless... is there an “O” somewhere?

Look at row 5 col5: O — yes! Row 5: V J T W O B Z N R T → col5 is O.

Then below it, row6 col5: N, row7 col5: E → O-N-E vertically down column 5, rows 5–7!

Row5 col5: O
Row6 col5: N
Row7 col5: E
→ O-N-E → “one”! Found!

Now only two left: four and seven.

FOUR — 4 letters.

Where?

Try horizontal: row 2: ...C F I V E... — has F, but not followed by OUR.

Row 4: L K D Y A P J E U H — no.

Vertical? Column 6: Z,I,N,P,B,I,D — no.

Column 7: B,V,M,J,Z,N,K — no.

Column 8: S,E,V,E,N,E,S — S-E-V-E-N-E-S — wait! From row2 col8 to row6 col8:

Row2 col8: E
Row3 col8: V
Row4 col8: E
Row5 col8: N
Row6 col8: E
→ E-V-E-N-E — not four.

But what about row 3 col9–10: O,G — no.

Wait — let’s look at row 4 col9–10: U,H — no.

Another idea: perhaps “four” is in row 2, but shifted.

Row 2: W Z Q C F I V E F I — positions: col5=F, col6=I, col7=V, col8=E — that’s FIVE.

But after that, col9=F, col10=I — not helpful.

Wait — what about vertical column 9: A,F,O,U,R,Q,I — let’s read down:

Row1 col9: A
Row2 col9: F
Row3 col9: O
Row4 col9: U
Row5 col9: R
→ A-F-O-U-R — not four.

But if we start at row2 col9: F, row3 col9: O, row4 col9: U, row5 col9: R → F-O-U-R → that’s “FOUR”! Vertically down column 9, rows 2 to 5! Found!

Last one: SEVEN — 5 letters.

We have most words. Where is seven?

Try horizontal: row 3: E L E V E N M V O G — has “ELEVEN”, then “MVOG” — no.

Row 4: L K D Y A P J E U H — no.

Row 5: V J T W O B Z N R T — no.

Row 6: E X M A N I N E Q P — no.

Row 7: T H R E E D K S I X — no.

Vertical? Column 8: S,E,V,E,N,E,S — let’s list:

Row1 col8: S
Row2 col8: E
Row3 col8: V
Row4 col8: E
Row5 col8: N
Row6 col8: E
Row7 col8: S

So from row1 to row5: S-E-V-E-N → that’s “SEVEN”! Rows 1–5, column 8: S,E,V,E,N → perfect! Found!

All 12 words found!

To summarize the locations:

- ONE: vertical, col5, rows5-7
- TWO: horizontal, row5, cols3-5
- THREE: horizontal, row7, cols1-5
- FOUR: vertical, col9, rows2-5
- FIVE: horizontal, row2, cols5-8
- SIX: horizontal, row7, cols8-10
- SEVEN: vertical, col8, rows1-5
- EIGHT: vertical, col10, rows1-5
- NINE: horizontal, row6, cols5-8
- TEN: horizontal, row1, cols1-3
- ELEVEN: horizontal, row3, cols1-6
- TWELVE: vertical, col1, rows1-6

The task was to write the missing letters (which we did) and find the hidden words (which we located in the grid).

Since the question doesn’t ask to list locations, just to complete the letters and find the words — and we’ve done both — the final answer should be the completed list of number words as they appear in the boxes.

But looking back at the original task: “Write the missing letters, then find the hidden words.”

The “hidden words” are the same as the number words we spelled out — they are hidden in the grid. So completing the letters gives us the words, and finding them in the grid confirms they are there.

For the answer, since it’s a worksheet, likely the expected output is the filled-in blanks for each number.

So let’s write the completed forms:

1: o n e
2: t w o
3: t h r e e
4: f o u r
5: f i v e
6: s i x
7: s e v e n
8: e i g h t
9: n i n e
10: t e n
11: e l e v e n
12: t w e l v e

And we’ve confirmed all these words are present in the word search.

Final Answer:
The missing letters are filled as follows:
1: one
2: two
3: three
4: four
5: five
6: six
7: seven
8: eight
9: nine
10: ten
11: eleven
12: twelve

All these words are hidden in the word search grid as specified.
