FAQ
How do I play the British wildlife wordsearch?
Tap or click on the first letter of a word and drag to the last letter. If the word is on the list, it highlights and is crossed off automatically. Words can run in any direction, including diagonally and backwards, so take your time searching the whole grid.
What are the 10 creatures to find?
The words are KINGFISHER, CORNCRAKE, DORMOUSE, SKYLARK, HEDGEHOG, KESTREL, PUFFIN, BADGER, OTTER and STOAT, all native British wildlife that can still be found across the UK today.
What is a corncrake?
The corncrake is a secretive bird related to the moorhen, known for its loud rasping call rather than its appearance. Once common across Britain, it is now largely confined to the Scottish islands and western Ireland, making it one of the UK's rarer breeding birds.
