This Easter Eggs collection includes four word searches built around dyeing and decorating, each aimed at a different kind of solver. Easy covers the basics every child already knows. Medium adds real decorating techniques. Hard turns to egg decorating as a genuine craft tradition. Searching for the finished eggs is covered in our Egg Hunt collection.
Large Print reuses the Medium word list at full difficulty, set in bigger type for easier reading. Every printable PDF includes an answer key and is reviewed before publication.

Vocabulary analysis
Measured directly from this puzzle's own grid — not a generic estimate.
With an average word length of 5.2 letters, this puzzle sits at a moderate 43.3% grid coverage, balancing genuine challenge with enough empty space to keep scanning manageable. 1 of its words shares letters with at least one other word on the list, so a single letter in the grid can belong to more than one hidden answer — a real source of extra difficulty beyond word count alone.
Why we chose this word list
Every word here is something a child does at the kitchen table while dyeing eggs, not a specialized craft term.
"Pattern" is included as the simplest version of what becomes real design vocabulary at higher levels.
Why this level is Easy
- Only horizontal and vertical words — no diagonals
- No reversed words
- Short, everyday vocabulary
- No uncommon spellings
- Minimal overlaps between words

Why we chose this word list
"Pysanky" is the real, specific name for the traditional Ukrainian wax-resist egg art, not a generic decorating term invented for this puzzle.
"Resist" and "beeswax" name the actual technique behind pysanky: wax is applied before each dye bath to protect the color already underneath.
Why this level is Hard
- All eight directions, including reversed words
- Longer, denser word list
- Similar-looking decoy letter sequences in the filler
- Frequent overlaps between words
