How to play

  1. Read the list of 8 isiZulu words under the grid. The English meaning is in brackets.
  2. Look for each word hidden in the grid of letters. Words are spelled left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally down to the right. They are never backwards.
  3. Tick off each word as you find it, on paper or in your head. The grid is for looking only, so the letters cannot be clicked.
  4. When you have finished, or if you are stuck, open Show solution to see the row and column where each word starts. Rows are counted from the top and columns from the left.
