Find varieties of apples grown in Maine in our word search
The Press Herald launches a word search spotlighting Maine apple varieties
Portland, Maine – September 29 – The Portland Press Herald has added a new online puzzle to its Puzzles & Games section: a word search that lists apple varieties grown in the state. The activity went live yesterday at 1:37 p.m. and is available on the paper’s website for anyone to play without an account.
The word search is part of the Press Herald’s ongoing effort to offer light‑hearted, educational content to its readers. While the puzzle itself is free, the website notes that readers can share the link to the game with anyone, even without a subscription.
In the same section, the paper highlights a recent quiz titled “How much do you know about apples?” and a sunflower jigsaw puzzle, indicating that the publisher is curating a variety of brain‑teasers that tie into local interests.
Readers who want to keep the puzzle—and other content—accessible to friends and family can do so by gifting up to five articles each month through the Press Herald’s subscription program. The site directs interested users to its subscriptions page for more information, noting that active subscribers can give these “gift articles” to non‑subscribers. If you do not already have a subscription, the website invites you to “Subscribe Today” to take advantage of these features.
The press release on the site also explains that the word search was posted by the Press Herald’s editorial staff, although no individual author is named. No direct quotes appear in the announcement, but the tone suggests that the puzzle is intended both as a fun pastime and a showcase of Maine’s rich apple‑growing heritage.
The Press Herald’s puzzles and games section remains an accessible resource for the community, offering a mix of word puzzles, quizzes, and visual challenges. The recent apple‑themed word search adds to this repertoire, celebrating Maine’s agricultural staple while keeping readers engaged.
