How the the human body words fit each size

67 of the 68 the human body words fit the 11 × 11 easy grid. PERSPIRATION is too long for it, so it only turns up on the 15 × 15 medium and 19 × 19 hard grids.

28 words have five letters or fewer, ARM, HIP and JAW among them, and those are the first ones young solvers spot. The longest, PERSPIRATION, CIRCULATION and ADRENALINE, are the last to be found.

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.
