Printable summer word search featuring 24 seasonal words like beach, vacation, and ice cream - perfect for keeping kids engaged during summer break.

To solve this Summer Word Search, we need to find all the words from the list hidden in the grid of letters. The words can be horizontal (left-to-right), vertical (top-to-bottom), or sometimes diagonal. Let’s go through each word one by one and locate it.

---

Step 1: Look for “SUMMER”

Scan row 8:
Row 8: E E N U F O N S U M M E R I P → Found! Horizontal, starting at column 7.

✔ SUMMER — Row 8, columns 7–12

---

Step 2: Look for “VACATION”

Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R
Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I → Found! Starts at column 2: V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

✔ VACATION — Row 10, columns 2–9

---

Step 3: Look for “FAMILY”

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E → Look at end: ...F A M I L Y... → columns 8–13

✔ FAMILY — Row 14, columns 8–13

---

Step 4: Look for “JUNE”

Same row as above: Row 14 starts with E J U N E → columns 2–5

✔ JUNE — Row 14, columns 2–5

---

Step 5: Look for “AUGUST”

Check row 1: S F L I P F L O P S I S L E P
Row 2: S U N S C R E E N A N U O S I
Row 3: A U N G U E S T H D O N V W C → Look: A-U-N-G-U-E-S-T? Not quite. Wait — maybe not here.

Wait — let’s check vertically.

Look at column 1:

Row 1: S
Row 2: S
Row 3: A
Row 4: B
Row 5: A
Row 6: R
Row 7: B
Row 8: E
Row 9: C
Row 10: U
Row 11: E
Row 12: I
Row 13: C
Row 14: E
Row 15: I

No AUGUST there.

Try column 2:

F, U, U, N, P, U, M, E, M, V, R, N, A, J, C → no.

Wait — look again at row 3: A U N G U E S T → that’s almost “AUGUST” but has extra letters.

Actually — let’s try vertical down column 1 starting at row 3:

Row 3 col 1: A
Row 4 col 1: B → no.

Wait — perhaps “AUGUST” is spelled vertically somewhere else?

Let me scan column 14 (last column):

P, I, C, N, I, C, S, P, R, I, N, K, L, E, R → no.

Wait — maybe I missed it horizontally.

Go back to row 3: A U N G U E S T → if you skip some letters? No, must be consecutive.

Wait — actually, look at row 3 again: positions 1-8: A U N G U E S T — that’s 8 letters. But “AUGUST” is 6 letters. So maybe not.

Hold on — let’s try a different approach. Maybe “AUGUST” is vertical.

Check column 1, rows 3 to 8: A, B, A, R, B, E — no.

Column 2: U, U, N, P, U, M — no.

Column 3: N, G, O, O, G, G — no.

Wait — what about column 13?

Row 1: L
Row 2: S
Row 3: W
Row 4: S
Row 5: M
Row 6: H
Row 7: S
Row 8: P
Row 9: T
Row 10: A
Row 11: N
Row 12: K
Row 13: L
Row 14: S
Row 15: R — no.

This is taking too long. Let me try another word first.

---

Step 6: Look for “ICE POP”

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R → First 6 letters: I C E P O P → perfect!

✔ ICE POP — Row 15, columns 1–6

---

Step 7: Look for “HOT”

Same row: after ICE POP, we have A H O T → so HOT is columns 8–10

✔ HOT — Row 15, columns 8–10

---

Step 8: Look for “RELAX”

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L → Look: R E L A X → columns 3–7

✔ RELAX — Row 13, columns 3–7

---

Step 9: Look for “FUN”

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K → Look near end: ...F U N... → columns 10–12

✔ FUN — Row 12, columns 10–12

---

Step 10: Look for “PICNIC”

Row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I → no
Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C → no
Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S → no
Row 8: E E N U F O N S U M M E R I P → no
Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R → no
Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I → no
Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N → no
Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K → no
Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L → no
Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E → no
Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R → no

Wait — maybe vertical?

Check column 1:

Rows 1-6: S,S,A,B,A,R — no
Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U — no
Column 3: L,N,G,O,O,G — no
Column 4: I,G,J,L,U,S — no
Column 5: P,E,O,R,S,C — no
Column 6: F,C,J,Y,A,R — no
Column 7: L,E,O,R,T,E — no
Column 8: O,N,F,S,H,M — no
Column 9: P,A,N,U,U,A — no
Column 10: S,N,F,Y,U,S — no
Column 11: I,U,S,S,H,N — no
Column 12: S,O,S,I,H,I — no
Column 13: L,V,W,S,M,U — no
Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S — wait! Column 14:

Row 1: P
Row 2: I
Row 3: C
Row 4: N
Row 5: I
Row 6: C → That’s P-I-C-N-I-C? No, order is wrong.

But if we read upward? Row 6 to row 1: C, I, N, C, I, P — still not PICNIC.

Wait — maybe row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N → look at end: ...N F S S I N — no.

Wait — row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I — no.

Perhaps “PICNIC” is in row 12? I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — no.

Wait — let's try column 15 (last column):

Row 1: P
Row 2: I
Row 3: C
Row 4: N
Row 5: I
Row 6: C → Again, same as before.

Actually — if we read column 15 from top to bottom: P, I, C, N, I, C — that’s not PICNIC.

But if we read from bottom to top? Row 6 to row 1: C, I, N, C, I, P — still not.

Wait — maybe it's horizontal in row 4? B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — no.

I think I made a mistake earlier. Let me re-scan carefully.

Wait — row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — look at positions 7-12: C E A N F S — no.

Another idea: maybe “PICNIC” is split? No, must be consecutive.

Let me try a different strategy. Let’s list all words and mark them off as we find them.

Words to find:

AUGUST
BARBECUE
BEACH
FAMILY ✔
FLIP FLOPS
FUN ✔
HOT ✔
ICE CREAM
ICE POP ✔
JULY
JUNE ✔
OCEAN
PICNIC
POOL
RELAX ✔

SHORTS — haven’t found
SPRINKLER — haven’t found
SUNGLASSES — haven’t found

SUNSHINE — haven’t found
SWIMSUIT — haven’t found

Let’s try “OCEAN”

Row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N → Look: O C E A N → columns 6–10

✔ OCEAN — Row 4, columns 6–10

---

“POOL”

Row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I → First 5 letters: A P O O L → so POOL is columns 2–5

✔ POOL — Row 5, columns 2–5

---

“FLIP FLOPS”

Row 1: S F L I P F L O P S I S L E P → Look: F L I P F L O P S → that’s FLIPFLOPS — 9 letters. Columns 2–10

✔ FLIP FLOPS — Row 1, columns 2–10

---

“SUNSCREEN”

Row 2: S U N S C R E E N A N U O S I → First 9 letters: S U N S C R E E N → perfect!

✔ SUNSCREEN — Row 2, columns 1–9

---

“BEACH”

Where is BEACH?

Scan rows:

Row 3: A U N G U E S T H D O N V W C — no
Row 4: ...OCEAN... — no
Row 5: ...POOL... — no
Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — look: ...E U N I H S C — no
Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — no
Row 8: ...SUMMER... — no
Row 9: ...TOHE... — no
Row 10: ...VACATIONS... — no
Row 11: ...JOIOUN — no
Row 12: ...SFUNPTK — no
Row 13: ...RELAX... — no
Row 14: ...FAMILY... — no
Row 15: ...ICEPOP... — no

Vertical?

Column 1: S,S,A,B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E,I,C,E,I — no
Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U,M,E,M,V,R,N,A,J,C — no
Column 3: L,N,G,O,O,G,G,N,A,A,O,I,R,U,E — no
Column 4: I,G,J,L,U,S,C,E,H,K,X,T,S,A,P — no
Column 5: P,E,O,R,S,C,R,F,T,J,F,U,L,C,O — no
Column 6: F,C,J,Y,A,R,E,O,H,R,I,F,A,F,P — no
Column 7: L,E,O,R,T,E,S,N,E,X,S,T,X,A,O — no
Column 8: O,N,F,S,H,M,A,U,H,J,F,S,Y,H,T — no
Column 9: P,A,N,U,U,A,M,M,T,O,T,F,L,I,S — no
Column 10: S,N,F,Y,U,S,A,E,H,J,S,U,Y,O,R — no
Column 11: I,U,S,S,H,N,S,R,R,X,F,L,I,F,E — no
Column 12: S,O,S,I,H,I,N,E,I,O,N,Y,L,L,L — no
Column 13: L,V,W,S,M,U,P,P,R,H,P,L,Y,S,R — no
Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S,P,P,T,N,K,L,S,E,L — no
Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C,R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — no

Wait — maybe “BEACH” is in row 6? R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — look at positions 8-12: A E U N I — no.

Positions 9-13: E U N I H — no.

What about row 11? E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — no.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — positions 5-9: E F I T S — no.

Perhaps I missed it. Let’s try “BARBECUE”

That’s 8 letters. Harder.

Maybe “JULY”

4 letters. Scan for J-U-L-Y.

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — look: ...J O I O U N — no J U L Y.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — no J.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — look: ...S U L Y... → columns 9-12: S U L Y — not JULY.

But if we take U L Y — missing J.

Wait — row 11 has J at position 10: ...X J O I... — then O, not U.

Not finding JULY yet.

“SHORTS”

6 letters. S-H-O-R-T-S

Scan rows:

Row 1: ...S I S L E P — no
Row 2: ...N A N U O S I — ends with S I — no
Row 3: ...H D O N V W C — has H D O — no
Row 4: ...N F S S I N — no
Row 5: ...U H O M I — has H O — no
Row 6: ...U N I H S C — has H S — no
Row 7: ...A S N I U S — no
Row 8: ...M E R I P — no
Row 9: ...H I N T R — has H I N — no
Row 10: ...S R H L A I — has S R H — no
Row 11: ...J O I O U N — no
Row 12: ...F U N P T K — has P T — no
Row 13: ...S U L Y L O L L — has S U L — no
Row 14: ...F A M I L Y S E — has Y S — no
Row 15: ...H O T S R E L R — has H O T S — close! H O T S — but we need S H O R T S.

In row 15: positions 8-13: H O T S R E — not SHORTS.

But if we start at position 7: A H O T S R — still not.

Wait — perhaps vertical.

Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S,P,P,T,N,K,L,S,E,L — no S H O R T S.

Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C,R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — no.

This is tricky. Let’s try “ICE CREAM”

8 letters. I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — first three: I C E — then P, not C.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has A C F A M — no.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has C A R E — no.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has I I N — no.

Perhaps vertical.

Column 1: S,S,A,B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E,I,C,E,I — no I C E C R E A M.

Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U,M,E,M,V,R,N,A,J,C — no.

Wait — row 13 starts with C A R E — not helpful.

Another idea: “ICE CREAM” might be in row 14 or 15 combined? No, must be in one line.

Let’s look at row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — positions 7-14: C F A M I L Y S — no.

Perhaps I need to accept that some are hard and move on.

Let’s try “SPRINKLER”

9 letters. S-P-R-I-N-K-L-E-R

Scan rows:

Row 1: S F L I P F L O P S I S L E P — has S at start and end, but not SPRINKLER.

Row 2: S U N S C R E E N A N U O S I — has S U N S C R — no.

Row 3: A U N G U E S T H D O N V W C — no.

Row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — has F S S I N — no.

Row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I — no.

Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — has R U G U S — no.

Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — has R E S — no.

Row 8: E E N U F O N S U M M E R I P — has S U M M E R — no.

Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R — has S T O H — no.

Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I — has S R H — no.

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — has R O B I L K R — no.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has S E F I T S — no.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has S U L Y — no.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has S E at end — no.

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — has S R E L R — close! S R E L R — but we need S P R I N K L E R.

Not matching.

Perhaps vertical.

Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S,P,P,T,N,K,L,S,E,L — has P,P,T,N,K,L — not SPRINKLER.

Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C,R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — has R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — that’s 9 letters from row 3 to row 11? Let's see:

Row 3 col 15: C
Row 4 col 15: N
Row 5 col 15: I
Row 6 col 15: C
Row 7 col 15: S
Row 8 col 15: P
Row 9 col 15: R
Row 10 col 15: I
Row 11 col 15: N
Row 12 col 15: K
Row 13 col 15: L
Row 14 col 15: E
Row 15 col 15: R

From row 7 to row 15: S,P,R,I,N,K,L,E,R — yes! That’s SPRINKLER!

Columns 15, rows 7 to 15: S (row7), P (row8), R (row9), I (row10), N (row11), K (row12), L (row13), E (row14), R (row15)

✔ SPRINKLER — Column 15, rows 7–15

Great!

Now “SUNGLASSES”

10 letters. S-U-N-G-L-A-S-S-E-S

Scan rows:

Row 2: S U N S C R E E N — only 9 letters, and not SUNGLASSES.

Row 3: A U N G U E S T — has U N G — no.

Row 4: ...OCEAN... — no.

Perhaps vertical.

Column 1: S,S,A,B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E,I,C,E,I — no.

Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U,M,E,M,V,R,N,A,J,C — has U,U,N — no.

Column 3: L,N,G,O,O,G,G,N,A,A,O,I,R,U,E — has G,O,O — no.

Column 4: I,G,J,L,U,S,C,E,H,K,X,T,S,A,P — has L,U,S — no.

Column 5: P,E,O,R,S,C,R,F,T,J,F,U,L,C,O — has S,C,R — no.

Column 6: F,C,J,Y,A,R,E,O,H,R,I,F,A,F,P — has A,R,E — no.

Column 7: L,E,O,R,T,E,S,N,E,X,S,T,X,A,O — has S,N,E — no.

Column 8: O,N,F,S,H,M,A,U,H,J,F,S,Y,H,T — has S,H,M — no.

Column 9: P,A,N,U,U,A,M,M,T,O,T,F,L,I,S — has U,U,A — no.

Column 10: S,N,F,Y,U,S,A,E,H,J,S,U,Y,O,R — has S,U,S — no.

Column 11: I,U,S,S,H,N,S,R,R,X,F,L,I,F,E — has S,S,H — no.

Column 12: S,O,S,I,H,I,N,E,I,O,N,Y,L,L,L — has S,O,S — no.

Column 13: L,V,W,S,M,U,P,P,R,H,P,L,Y,S,R — has S,M,U — no.

Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S,P,P,T,N,K,L,S,E,L — has S,P,P — no.

Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C,R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — has R,P,R — no.

Perhaps in row 1: S F L I P F L O P S I S L E P — has S at start and S at position 10, but not SUNGLASSES.

Wait — row 2: S U N S C R E E N A N U O S I — if we take S U N S — then C R E E N — not GLASSES.

Another idea: "SUNGLASSES" might be in two parts? No.

Let’s try “SUNSHINE”

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

Row 2: S U N S C R E E N — has S U N S — then C, not H.

Row 3: A U N G U E S T — has U N G — no.

Row 4: ...OCEAN... — no.

Row 5: ...POOL... — no.

Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — has U G U S — no.

Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — has R E S — no.

Row 8: ...SUMMER... — no.

Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R — has S T O H E T H I N — look: positions 5-12: S T O H E T H I — not SUNSHINE.

Positions 8-15: H E T H I N T R — no.

Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I — has S R H — no.

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — no.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has S E F I T S — no.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has S U L Y — no.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has S E at end — no.

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — has S R E — no.

Vertical? Unlikely.

Perhaps “SUNSHINE” is in row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R — if we take S T O H E T H I — not matching.

Wait — let's look at row 9 again: positions 5-12: S T O H E T H I — not SUNSHINE.

But if we take positions 8-15: H E T H I N T R — no.

Another thought: maybe "SUNSHINE" is spelled backward? Usually not in these puzzles.

Let’s try “SWIMSUIT”

8 letters. S-W-I-M-S-U-I-T

Scan rows:

Row 1: S F L I P F L O P S I S L E P — has S at start, then later S I S — not SWIMSUIT.

Row 2: S U N S C R E E N — has S U N S — no.

Row 3: A U N G U E S T — has U N G — no.

Row 4: ...OCEAN... — no.

Row 5: ...POOL... — no.

Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — has U G U S — no.

Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — has R E S A M A S — look: positions 7-14: S A M A S N I U — not SWIMSUIT.

Positions 8-15: A M A S N I U S — has A M A S — no.

Row 8: ...SUMMER... — no.

Row 9: ...TOHE... — no.

Row 10: ...VACATIONS... — no.

Row 11: ...JOIOUN — no.

Row 12: ...SFUNPTK — no.

Row 13: ...RELAX... — no.

Row 14: ...FAMILY... — no.

Row 15: ...ICEPOP... — no.

Vertical? Unlikely.

Perhaps I need to give up on some and focus on what I can find.

Let’s list what we have found so far:

✔ SUMMER — Row 8, cols 7-12
✔ VACATION — Row 10, cols 2-9
✔ FAMILY — Row 14, cols 8-13
✔ JUNE — Row 14, cols 2-5
✔ ICE POP — Row 15, cols 1-6
✔ HOT — Row 15, cols 8-10
✔ RELAX — Row 13, cols 3-7
✔ FUN — Row 12, cols 10-12
✔ OCEAN — Row 4, cols 6-10
✔ POOL — Row 5, cols 2-5
✔ FLIP FLOPS — Row 1, cols 2-10
✔ SUNSCREEN — Row 2, cols 1-9
✔ SPRINKLER — Col 15, rows 7-15

That's 13 words.

Remaining: AUGUST, BARBECUE, BEACH, ICE CREAM, JULY, PICNIC, SHORTS, SUNGLASSES, SUNSHINE, SWIMSUIT

Let’s try “AUGUST” again.

Earlier I saw row 3: A U N G U E S T — which is 8 letters, but "AUGUST" is 6. If we take positions 1-6: A U N G U E — not AUGUST.

Positions 3-8: N G U E S T — no.

But if we take every other letter? No.

Wait — perhaps "AUGUST" is vertical.

Let me check column 1, rows 3 to 8: A,B,A,R,B,E — no.

Column 2: U,U,N,P,U,M — no.

Column 3: N,G,O,O,G,G — no.

Column 4: I,G,J,L,U,S — no.

Column 5: P,E,O,R,S,C — no.

Column 6: F,C,J,Y,A,R — no.

Column 7: L,E,O,R,T,E — no.

Column 8: O,N,F,S,H,M — no.

Column 9: P,A,N,U,U,A — no.

Column 10: S,N,F,Y,U,S — no.

Column 11: I,U,S,S,H,N — no.

Column 12: S,O,S,I,H,I — no.

Column 13: L,V,W,S,M,U — no.

Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S — no.

Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C — no.

Perhaps in row 3, if we skip letters: A _ U _ G _ U _ S _ T — but that's not how word search works.

Another idea: maybe "AUGUST" is in row 15? I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — has A at position 7, then H, not U.

No.

Let’s try “BARBECUE”

8 letters. B-A-R-B-E-C-U-E

Scan rows:

Row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — starts with B, then N, not A.

Row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I — starts with A, not B.

Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — starts with R.

Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — starts with B, then M, not A.

Row 8: E E N U F O N S U M M E R I P — no B.

Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R — no B.

Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I — no B.

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — has B at position 4: ...O B I L... — then I, not A.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — no B.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has A R E — no B.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — no B.

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — no B.

Vertical? Column 1: S,S,A,B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E,I,C,E,I — has B at row 4 and row 7.

Row 4 col 1: B
Row 5 col 1: A
Row 6 col 1: R
Row 7 col 1: B
Row 8 col 1: E
Row 9 col 1: C
Row 10 col 1: U
Row 11 col 1: E — so B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E — that's BARBECUE! From row 4 to row 11, column 1.

Let's verify:

Row 4 col 1: B
Row 5 col 1: A
Row 6 col 1: R
Row 7 col 1: B
Row 8 col 1: E
Row 9 col 1: C
Row 10 col 1: U
Row 11 col 1: E — yes! B-A-R-B-E-C-U-E

✔ BARBECUE — Column 1, rows 4–11

Excellent!

Now “BEACH”

5 letters. B-E-A-C-H

We have B at row 4 col 1, but then A at row 5 col 1, R at row 6 col 1 — not E.

After BARBECUE, next is E at row 8 col 1, then C at row 9 col 1, U at row 10 col 1 — not BEACH.

Perhaps elsewhere.

Row 3: A U N G U E S T — has E at position 6, S at 7, T at 8 — not BEACH.

Row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — has B at 1, N at 2, E at 3 — then G, not A.

Positions 3-7: E G J O C — no.

Row 5: A P O O L J U R Y S U H O M I — has A at 1, P at 2 — not B.

Row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — has A at 6, T at 7, A at 8, E at 9 — not BEACH.

Row 7: B M G C R E S A M A S N I U S — has B at 1, M at 2 — not E.

Row 8: E E N U F O N S U M M E R I P — has E at 1,2 — not B.

Row 9: C M A A S T O H E T H I N T R — has A at 3,4 — not B.

Row 10: U V A C A T I O N S R H L A I — has A at 3,5 — not B.

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — has B at 4 — then I, not E.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has E at 5 — not B.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has A at 2, R at 3, E at 4 — so A R E — not B E A C H.

But if we take positions 2-6: A R E L A — no.

Positions 4-8: E L A X S — no.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has E at 1, J at 2 — not B.

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — has E at 3, P at 4 — not B.

Vertical? Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U,M,E,M,V,R,N,A,J,C — has E at row 8, M at 9 — not B.

Column 3: L,N,G,O,O,G,G,N,A,A,O,I,R,U,E — has A at row 9,10 — not B.

Column 4: I,G,J,L,U,S,C,E,H,K,X,T,S,A,P — has E at row 8, H at 9 — not B.

Column 5: P,E,O,R,S,C,R,F,T,J,F,U,L,C,O — has E at row 2, O at 3 — not B.

Column 6: F,C,J,Y,A,R,E,O,H,R,I,F,A,F,P — has A at row 5, R at 6, E at 7 — so A R E — not B E A C H.

But if we start from row 5 col 6: A
Row 6 col 6: R
Row 7 col 6: E
Row 8 col 6: O
Row 9 col 6: T — not matching.

Perhaps "BEACH" is in row 6: R U G U S A T A E U N I H S C — positions 6-10: A T A E U — no.

Positions 8-12: A E U N I — no.

I think I found it! In row 6: positions 9-13: E U N I H — not BEACH.

Wait — row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — positions 4-8: B I L K R — no.

Another idea: perhaps "BEACH" is vertical in column 14 or 15.

Column 14: P,I,C,N,I,S,P,P,T,N,K,L,S,E,L — has S at row 6, P at 7, etc — no B.

Column 15: P,I,C,N,I,C,R,P,R,I,K,L,E,R,R — has C at row 3, N at 4, etc — no B.

Let’s try “JULY”

4 letters. J-U-L-Y

Row 11: E R O B I L K R X J O I O U N — has J at position 10, then O, not U.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has U at position 11, N at 12 — not J U L Y.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has U at position 9, L at 10, Y at 11 — so U L Y — missing J.

But if we take positions 8-11: S U L Y — not JULY.

However, if we look at row 11 position 10: J, then row 12 position 11: U, row 13 position 10: L, row 13 position 11: Y — not consecutive.

Perhaps in row 13: positions 9-12: U L Y L — not JULY.

Wait — row 11 has J at 10, then O at 11, I at 12, O at 13, U at 14, N at 15 — no L Y after J.

Unless it's diagonal, but usually not.

Let’s assume for now that "JULY" is in row 13: but it's U L Y, not J U L Y.

Perhaps I missed it in row 4 or something.

Row 4: B N E G J O C E A N F S S I N — has J at position 5, then O, not U.

No.

Another possibility: "JULY" might be in the last few rows.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has J at position 2, U at 3, N at 4, E at 5 — so J U N E — not JULY.

But if we take J U N E, that's JUNE, which we already have.

For JULY, we need J U L Y.

In row 14, after J U N E, we have A C F A M I L Y — so L Y at positions 12-13.

So J at 2, U at 3, then L at 12, Y at 13 — not consecutive.

Not working.

Let’s try “ICE CREAM”

8 letters. I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M

Row 15: I C E P O P A H O T S R E L R — first three: I C E — then P, not C.

Row 14: E J U N E A C F A M I L Y S E — has A C F A M — not I C E C R E A M.

Row 13: C A R E L A X S U L Y L O L L — has C A R E — not I C E.

Row 12: I I N S E F I T S F U N P T K — has I I N — not I C E.

Perhaps vertical.

Column 1: S,S,A,B,A,R,B,E,C,U,E,I,C,E,I — has C at row 9, U at 10, E at 11, I at 12, C at 13, E at 14, I at 15 — so C,U,E,I,C,E,I — not ICE CREAM.

Column 2: F,U,U,N,P,U,M,E,M,V,R,N,A,J,C — has E at row 8, M at 9 — not I C E.

Column 3: L,N,G,O,O,G,G,N,A,A,O,I,R,U,E — has A
