Murder Mystery Word Search

  • 100 cases, one per page, each set in a different place
  • 20 words listed, 19 hidden: the missing word is the crime scene
  • Leftover letters spell the confession: where, with what, and who
  • Four suspects named in every case, and 2,000 different words
  • Full solutions at the back, plus a final case that runs through the book

Questions

How does a case work?

Twenty words are listed and nineteen are in the grid. The missing word tells you where it happened. The letters you never circle, read row by row, spell the confession.

Are the solutions in the book?

Yes. Full solutions for all 100 cases are at the back: the marked grid, the scene, the culprit, what was used and the confession.

Is it gory?

No. These are quiet, cozy mysteries: a country house, a village shop, a locked room and a short list of people who had a reason to be there.

How big is the print?

The grid letters are 16 point in a 15x15 grid and the word list is 12.5 point, on 8.5 x 11 inch pages.
