A walk through the word list
MEADOW, CANOPY, ESTUARY, LICHEN, WOODLAND, PEBBLE, WILLOW, STREAM, ORCHID, BADGER, FERN and HORIZON make up this theme. It brings together habitats, plants, an animal and features you might notice outdoors. There are no species-identification questions to answer.
Let long words guide the search
WOODLAND and HORIZON give you longer letter sequences to trace. FERN is shorter and can hide in a busier patch of letters. Every target word appears exactly once as a straight-line sequence in the generated grid, even if filler letters suggest other ordinary words. Only the word-bank entries are targets.
