A list for the long days
Half of the list is the beach, sun, sand, shells, waves, the ocean, a towel and sandals, and the other half is the rest of the summer: a tent at camp, a hike to the lake, a boat, a picnic of lemonade and watermelon, fireflies at dusk, the pool, shorts and vacation. Each puzzle is one sheet, easy to pack for a car trip.
Three examples
Sun to picnic, fourteen words in a 15 by 15 grid with diagonals, lowercase.
Picnic to August, eleven words at 12 by 12, across and down, on A4 without answers.
