Free Printable Autumn Word Search
A fall list for September through November: leaves and harvest (MAPLE, FOLIAGE, ORCHARD, BUSHEL), food (CIDER, PECAN, BUTTERNUT) and the calendar (EQUINOX, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER). Answer key included, and New puzzle lays out a different grid from the same 53 words every time.
Free and unlimited, no account. Press “New puzzle” for a different grid from the same 53 words.
How the autumn words fit each size
52 of the 53 autumn words fit the 11 × 11 easy grid. THANKSGIVING is too long for it, so it only turns up on the 15 × 15 medium and 19 × 19 hard grids.
16 words have five letters or fewer, OAK, PIE and YAM among them, and those are the first ones young solvers spot. The longest, THANKSGIVING, CORNUCOPIA and BUTTERNUT, are the last to be found.
A way to use the autumn word search
Take it outside. Collect real leaves, an ACORN and a PINECONE first, then find their names in the grid.

Printing and the answer key
Print hides the controls; the PNG is rendered at 3× so letters stay crisp, and the answer key saves under its own filename. Need a whole book of these at KDP trim? KDP Creator builds the pages.
