Countries word search puzzles

From FRANCE to MADAGASCAR by way of PERU and NEPAL: these word searches hide countries from every continent in letter grids. A world-geography favorite — hunting a country's name letter by letter plants it better than any list — and a quiet way to travel from the kitchen table.

Each grid hides a different selection of nations, so a printed batch becomes a little world tour, solutions included. Level 1 keeps the borders straight; level 3 lets the words cross the grid in all eight directions.
