This is a “Hot Word Search” puzzle. It presents a grid of letters in which kids are tasked to find and highlight words related to heat or fire. Each word can be arranged horizontally, or vertically. Below the grid, there’s a list of the specific words to search for, which include “sun,” “volcano,” “fireplace,” “fire,” “stove,” “torch,” “lava,” “grill,” and “comet.” The words are thematically linked by their association with heat. The title “Hot Word Search” reinforces this theme, and there is a graphic of a stylized sun in the top-left corner, which complements the puzzle’s hot theme.
