PORPOISE
Porpoises and dolphins are close cousins but easy to tell apart: porpoises have blunt, rounded snouts, while dolphins carry the long, beaky snout most of us picture first.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
BREACH
When a dolphin breaches, it hurls its entire body clear of the surface, sometimes spinning or twisting before crashing back down in a curtain of white water.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

The Playful Dolphin: a free online word search

Dolphin word search you can play online right now, no account needed. Pods, blowholes, echolocation: the ocean's busiest thinkers, all in one grid.

About The Playful Dolphin

Dolphins are among the ocean's most spirited travelers, racing the bow waves of ships and leaping clean into the salt air for the sheer pleasure of it. They move in tight-knit pods, keeping in touch through a rich language of clicks and whistles that carries far through the deep. That sonar sense, bouncing sound off the world around them, is so precise they can find a fish hidden in the sand, or find each other in the dark of a moonless sea.
