STEP 02
Silent hunt
Students search for vocabulary words independently. Each word they find triggers a definition popup with a real US example. Encourage them to read each definition before moving on.
⏱ 8 min
STEP 03
Class debrief
Use your downloaded answer key to call out each term. Ask students: "What does this mean in your own words?" Cold-call 2–3 definitions per puzzle for active recall.
⏱ 5 min
BONUS
Homework quiz
Assign the quiz version as a 5-minute exit ticket or next-day warm-up. Each quiz has 10 multiple-choice questions auto-scored in the browser — no grading needed.
📝 Optional
Research note: Active recall — retrieving a word rather than re-reading it — produces significantly stronger long-term retention than passive review (Karpicke & Roediger, 2008). Word search puzzles force retrieval at the moment of recognition, making them more effective than flashcards alone.
