Super Search Seven!

Imagine a word-search, but you've got to figure out the words, too! Meet the SUPER SEARCH!

In this hexagonal grid, there are 36 hidden words (forwards, backwards, or diagonally) that fall under SIX categories. Circle the answers as you find them -- like with a traditional word-search, letters can be used in multiple words.

When you are finished, there will be 6 letters that aren't used in any words, which, when written in order, will give you your final code.

Your SIX word categories (with six words each): Edible Fish, First Names in Beatles Song Titles, Well-Known Physicists (last name), Flowers that Grow from Bulbs/Tubers, African Capitals, and Things That Run.

All words have at least 3-letters, are not plural, and do not use abbreviations. No words are contained entirely within other words.

Here's a printer-friendly version. (You definitely want to print these puzzles, or stop by the library and we're happy to print them for you!)

Individual letters, inside triangular shaped boxes that nestle together to make a full puzzle grid of letters.

I'm far from a Beatles fan, but I think everyone knows that one name is not a girl's name, considering who it was written for. Has anyone really heard it as being sung to a woman?? I figured out the code before I realized you were playing pretty loose with that one clue.

Hi Steve, the category is…

Hi Steve, the category is FIRST names in Beatles song titles, not GIRLS names in Beatles song titles, so all should be good! Thanks for playing!!

Anecdotally, I have read a book where the name in question does apply to a woman. I agree that it's usually gendered male, and it definitely is in the song, but it isn't unheard of as a woman's or gender-neutral name. Nonetheless, this also tripped me up until I re-read the clue!
