How to play this theme

Select a word’s first letter, then its last. Either end works. Relaxed puzzles hide words across and down; the challenge switch adds diagonals and backward words. “New puzzle” changes the word selection and its positions. “Print puzzle” gives you the exact version on your screen.

A conversation to go with it

Name a beach, lake, or riverside you remember visiting. You can print copies for your group and take turns finding words. Keep the Leisure Letters name on the sheets and do not resell or upload the files elsewhere.
