The Silk Road Word Search
Sixteen words from the ancient trade routes between China and the Mediterranean cross this hard sixteen-by-sixteen grid — silk and porcelain, camels and caravanserais, and Marco Polo somewhere along the way. Words travel in all eight directions, including backwards, much like the goods that changed hands in both directions for centuries.
