About this worksheet

A Thanksgiving puzzle built around the vocabulary students actually meet in November read-alouds — harvest, gratitude, the Mayflower — rather than generic fall words. Good for the short week before break, when you need something students can do independently.

How to use it

  • Print it as it is. Page one is the puzzle, page two is the answer key. Sized for US Letter at full print resolution.
  • Swap in your own words. Open the maker, paste this week's spelling list, and the grid rebuilds in a second.
  • Change the difficulty. Easy hides words across and down only. Hard adds diagonals and backwards words for stronger readers.
