A bit too small for you perhaps? Try the new Large Edition!
Acronyms like UK are not accepted.

Updated!

After over 16 months of being live, I have finally updated the very first wordsearch quiz to be SVG instead of a standard image. Now watch your words be crossed off the grid as you find them, also allowing you to see which you missed at the end!

I believe my highest was 20, although that included some bonus words and some abbreviations. As there are a limited number of countries, there must be a definitive answer. My guess would be somewhere around 14 or so

If we’re banning all abbreviations, then the minimum size the grid would have to be at least 28x28 just to accommodate the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is 28 letters long.

Originally "USA" and "UK" were included in the quiz, but I removed them since acronyms are silly and shouldn't be included! So that free'd up more space, allowing two extra letters to be unused!

After a major overhaul today, you'll find all 27 of these Country Word Searches now have no answer boxes (how word searches are supposed to be completed), have no bonuses (which were prominent on later grids, despised by many) and also have had all "United" acronyms removed. So now you can just find countries, and not worry about any acronyms sneaking in there!

Enjoy :)

It was originally, but caveats clearly state that "Acronyms like UK are not accepted."

This is because I removed all the acronyms from all of these word searches, since originally only UK, USA and UAE were accepted. But then why should they be the only ones? Why not CAR, PNG, NZ, DPRK, ROK, ROC etc... be accepted. So I made the executive decision to purge all acronyms, as that way the quizzes are more fun and challenging. (After doing all 27 grids, you realise that 50%+ had UK, UAE and USA in them, meaning you could easily get 3 answers without trying)

Please remove St Lucia. Not only is it an acronym, which you say are not accepted, but I had to look at the comments to even remotely consider it. I find that a WORD search implies in its very essence that we are searching for SINGULAR words as answers, not multiple word answers. Come up with another short country name to put in here instead.
