Super Search Two!
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 11 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): Types of Chili Peppers, Alkali Metals, Musicians/Performers who have won at least 15 Grammys (as credited for the award), Major Greek Deities, US Presidents' Dogs, and Megacities (metropolitan areas with 10 million or more people—why yes, there is a Wikipedia page for that!)
All words have at least 3-letters, are not plural (unless a name is plural), and do not use abbreviations. No words are contained entirely within other words.

Capital city of Thailand is listed as a hint twice, is this deliberate?

It just got stuck during loading. Try refreshing! (lots of people playing right now). Thanks for playing! :D

This so so fun! I love the online version and the hints!
One suggestion: would it be possible not to reveal the final word at the end, and let the user find the remaining 11 letters for themselves? That’s part of the fun!
So glad you are enjoying it!…
So glad you are enjoying it! You know, we toyed with whether or not to provide the answer! A few things went into the decision, but we'll keep it in mind as we evaluate how the digital version is doing over the summer. So, thanks for letting us know you liked putting the letters together at the end! And thanks for playing :D
p.s. If you REALLY want to, you could wait to select the last word and manually enter what you think the code is. Or play the paper version, but use the digital hints whenever you want. Just spitballing! Thanks again :)
Good ideas!

I second this -- I really love the digital version, but I think it would be great if the final code wasn't revealed and players could unscramble it themselves. Still, the digital version is amazing and much appreciation towards AADL staff!
