Place names make challenging word search targets — they're long, they overlap, and you can't guess them from context. This collection covers U.S. states, world countries and capitals, great rivers and mountain ranges, and famous landmarks.
Geography puzzles work as map-unit warmups and as travel entertainment. The hard tier hides long names like Kilimanjaro across diagonals; the easy tier keeps states short and forward-only so younger solvers can finish a full grid.
