The first word you see is your wish for the baby

A new baby brings out everyone's softest hopes. This grid collects sixteen of them, from GIGGLES and SNUGGLES to CURIOSITY and BRAVERY, and hides them among the letters. Each guest finds a first word and offers it as a wish for the little one. It suits every kind of family, takes about a minute to play, and leaves the parents-to-be with a stack of lovely notes.

  • SLEEPYou wish this baby long, peaceful nights. The parents are wishing for that one too.
  • SNUGGLESYou wish this little one endless warm arms, soft blankets, and a favorite lap.

How to use this puzzle

Hosts can print the grid on cardstock and ask each guest to circle a word and sign it. Slip the cards into a small album for the nursery, or read a few aloud while gifts are opened so quieter guests get a moment too.

Want different words, colours or a story-sized version? Open it in the maker, where you can edit every word and meaning, switch between dozens of templates and export sizes for Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok or print. The puzzle is for fun: the word you notice first depends on where your eyes land, not on a personality test.
