About this Classic Fairy Tales word search
The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Charles Perrault wrote their fairy tales in the 1800s — all public domain. Cinderella's slipper, Snow White's apple, Rapunzel's tower and Red Riding Hood's basket all star here, drawn from the original texts rather than any modern adaptation.
This puzzle hides 12 fairy-tale icon words in a 13×13 grid. Words run in every direction — across, down, diagonally, and backwards — so look carefully. Tap a word's first and last letter to lock it in, or hit Print puzzle for a clean paper copy.
