Charleston: a free online word search

Charleston word search, where the hidden words run from Rainbow Row to Fort Sumter and the Battery sea wall holds them all together.

About Charleston

Charleston, South Carolina, curves along a narrow peninsula where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers meet the sea, giving the city a skyline of church steeples that once guided sailors home. Its streets are lined with antebellum single houses, their long side piazzas turned to catch the salt breeze, and gardens that erupt each spring in azalea and magnolia bloom. The harbor has witnessed centuries of history, from colonial rice and indigo trade to the opening shots of the Civil War fired across its tidal waters at Fort Sumter.
