About this spanish word search
- In Spanish, a word search is usually called a sopa de letras, which means "letter soup."
- The Spanish alphabet includes ñ as a separate letter after n, so año (year) and ano are different words; keep the tilde when you print.
- Days of the week and months are not capitalized in Spanish, so lunes and enero are written in lowercase.
- Ask students to say each word aloud and give its English meaning as they find it, turning the puzzle into a quick vocabulary check.
