3 Letter Words Word Search
Forty three-letter words, the shortest a grid on this site will hide: cat, dog, fox, hat, pig, sun and zip among them. Print the free PDF, or play it online.
Most of them follow one pattern, consonant, vowel, consonant: b-a-g, c-u-p, h-e-n, m-o-p, r-u-g. Teachers call these CVC words, and they are usually the first words a child sounds out from start to finish, because each letter makes its plainest sound. A few here break the pattern: egg and ant start with the vowel, and bee, key, owl, cow and toy spend two letters on one vowel sound.
Two of the words came from far away. Bus is the tail end of omnibus, Latin for "for all", the name given in France in the 1820s to horse-drawn coaches that took anyone who paid. Yak came into English from Tibetan, where gyag is the name for the male animal.
Short words make a quick puzzle: the PDF fits on one page, and the online grid changes every time.
