Word Search Maker / Word Lists / Dolch Grade 2 Words
The 46 grade 2 Dolch words, including because, before, which and would — the words that make a sentence sound like writing rather than speech.
The generator opens with up to 16 words filled in — add or remove any you like before printing.
Several of these are longer than eight letters, so they anchor a grid nicely: place because first and the rest of the puzzle arranges itself around it.
Pair it with a 15 × 15 grid for a five-minute filler, or a 20 × 20 for a full lesson starter. Every puzzle prints on one A4 or Letter sheet, with the answer key on the page behind it.
46 words. They are listed in the order the source list uses, not alphabetically, so you can work through them a level at a time.
Yes — select the text, or use your browser's print command. If you want the words in a puzzle instead, the button above loads the first 16 of them into the generator, where you can paste the rest.
A 15 × 15 grid takes the whole list comfortably; the longest word here is BECAUSE (7 letters). Bigger grids (20 × 20) suit fast finishers.
