Forgiveness Word Search - Free Printable

Let’s solve this word search puzzle step by step.

We are looking for the word “FORGIVENESS” in the grid. It can be hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — forwards or backwards.

First, let’s look at the bottom row of the grid:

> Z F O R G I V E N E S S U C

Look closely — starting from the second letter:

F - O - R - G - I - V - E - N - E - S - S

That’s 11 letters — and “FORGIVENESS” is exactly 11 letters long!

Let’s spell it out:

- F (position 2)
- O (3)
- R (4)
- G (5)
- I (6)
- V (7)
- E (8)
- N (9)
- E (10)
- S (11)
- S (12)

Wait — that’s 11 letters? Let’s count again:

F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N-E-S-S → that’s 11 characters.

But “FORGIVENESS” has two ‘E’s and two ‘S’s at the end — yes, that matches.

Actually, let’s double-check the spelling of “FORGIVENESS”:

F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N-E-S-S → 11 letters ✔

In the last row:
Position 1: Z
Position 2: F ← start here
Position 3: O
Position 4: R
Position 5: G
Position 6: I
Position 7: V
Position 8: E
Position 9: N
Position 10: E
Position 11: S
Position 12: S
Position 13: U
Position 14: C

So from position 2 to 12: F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N-E-S-S → that’s 11 letters, which is correct.

But wait — positions 2 through 12 inclusive is 11 letters? Let’s count:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 → that’s 11 positions → perfect.

So the word “FORGIVENESS” is written horizontally left to right, starting at the second letter of the last row.

✔ Found it!

Final Answer:
The word "FORGIVENESS" is located in the last row, starting at the second letter and going right: F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N-E-S-S.
