SEEK puzzle #11, November 7, 2026

That Saturday's word search had the theme "Birds" and eleven words to find on an 8x8 grid. The hidden word, made from the leftover letters, was MIGRATE.

Where each word sits

• CROW: row 4, column 7, bottom to top
• DOVE: row 5, column 1, bottom to top
• DUCK: row 6, column 1, left to right
• EAGLE: row 8, column 7, diagonally up and left
• FALCON: row 2, column 3, diagonally down and right
• FINCH: row 6, column 8, bottom to top
• GOOSE: row 1, column 5, right to left
• HERON: row 8, column 6, right to left
• ROBIN: row 7, column 1, left to right
• SPARROW: row 8, column 8, diagonally up and left
• SWAN: row 4, column 6, bottom to top

Worth knowing about this grid: eight words read backwards or upwards and three words run diagonally, so scan all eight directions. Once the listed words are found, 54 of the 64 letters are used, and the 7 letters of MIGRATE sit among ten leftover letters, with three extra letters mixed in. The longest listed word is SPARROW.
