About this Sherlock Holmes word search
Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories are in the public domain, so we're free to celebrate the great detective properly. Deerstalkers, magnifying glasses, dossiers and the fog of Victorian London await.
This puzzle hides 11 sherlock clue 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.
