About this resource

Stretch and challenge your learners with this engaging Year 6 wordsearch activity , designed to develop advanced SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) skills while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving. Perfect for SPaG lessons, early finishers, revision, or homework , this resource supports spelling accuracy, vocabulary development, and contextual understanding .

Building on the format of the Year 5 version, words can be found horizontally, vertically, and diagonally , and appear in both forward and backwards directions . However, this version introduces an added layer of challenge: incomplete clues .

This dual challenge of decoding clues and searching for words promotes deeper thinking, strengthens vocabulary recall, and enhances spelling precision. It’s an ideal activity for Year 6 learners or those working at Greater Depth , especially during transition periods or as part of revision. Key Features: Designed for Year 6 and Greater Depth learners Supports SPaG, spelling accuracy, and vocabulary development Includes crossword-style clues with missing words Words placed in all directions, including forwards and backwards Encourages problem-solving, reasoning, and independent learning Ideal for early finishers, homework, and revisionRead more

Good value, and the answers are actually on it.

Small thing, but half the free sheets online expect you to work the answers out yourself. My TA can run a group on this without a briefing first.

Fine, though the font is small for my class.

The maths is right and the sequence is sensible. Several of my children needed it enlarged to A3, which is easy enough but worth knowing before you print thirty.

Printed it at eight on a Sunday and taught it on the Monday.

No editing, no reformatting, no hunting for the answers. The three levels are on separate pages, which sounds obvious until you have used the sites where they are not.
