About this worksheet

Solar system vocabulary that lines up with upper-elementary science standards: the eight planets plus orbit, gravity, telescope, and astronaut. Longer words make this a better fit for third grade and up, or for a fast finisher in second.

How to use it

  • Print it as it is. Page one is the puzzle, page two is the answer key. Sized for US Letter at full print resolution.
  • Swap in your own words. Open the maker, paste this week's spelling list, and the grid rebuilds in a second.
  • Change the difficulty. Easy hides words across and down only. Hard adds diagonals and backwards words for stronger readers.
