FAQ
How do I play the dinosaurs 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 dinosaurs to find?
The words are VELOCIRAPTOR, TRICERATOPS, DIPLODOCUS, HADROSAUR, ANKYLOSAUR, MOSASAURUS, IGUANODON, ALLOSAURUS, SPINOSAURUS and PTERODACTYL, covering some of the most famous prehistoric creatures of the Mesozoic era.
Was a pterodactyl a dinosaur?
Strictly speaking, no. Pterodactyls were flying reptiles known as pterosaurs, which lived alongside the dinosaurs but belonged to a different group. They are so closely associated with the dinosaur era, however, that they appear in almost every collection of prehistoric creature names.
