Fifteen free Garfield word searches, each a printable PDF with its answer key included. One puzzle has expanded into a full collection worthy of the world’s laziest cat — the characters, the lasagna, the Monday hatred, all of it.
Comic fans get deep cuts (Jim Davis, Muncie, and the Guinness record for the world’s most syndicated strip); kids get an easy grid of purrs and naps; and Odie finally gets a puzzle of his own.
From SLEEPING to MIDNIGHTSNACK, 15 words are hiding in this grid.
Hunt down PINKPANTHER, AZRAEL and 13 more hidden words.
15 words to find, starting with MAILBOX and SCRATCHPOST.
What’s in the Garfield Collection
The character strand starts with Garfield Characters — Jon Arbuckle, Nermal, Arlene, Pooky and even Orson from Jim Davis’s other strip — then Garfield And Odie covers the drool and the doghouse. Cats Of Comics And Cartoons goes wider: Felix, Tom, Sylvester, Hobbes and friends, alongside the classic Cat puzzle.
The lifestyle strand is pure Garfield: Food Favorites, a Lasagna Kitchen grid, A Day With Garfield (recliner to windowsill), Monday Blues, Garfield Attitude, a reluctant Vet Visit, and Movies And TV from Bill Murray to Chris Pratt. Hard Garfield saves the publishing-history trivia for superfans.
