Superhero word search puzzles
Batman, Spider-Man, capes, villains and secret identities: these word searches assemble heroes from every universe into letter grids. A party-table classic for the cape-wearing age group — and the villain names are always found first, make of that what you will.
Print a batch with solutions or play online. Level 1 flies straight; level 3 hides words in all eight directions, because villains never attack from the front.
