Hit the Road with the Unofficial Elvis Word Search - Word Snacks Edition
A Love Letter to the King—In Puzzle Form
There’s something timeless about Elvis Presley’s music. It’s not just the catchy rhythm or the legendary voice—it’s the way his songs make you feel. From the tender longing of Can’t Help Falling in Love to the pure fun of Jailhouse Rock, Elvis had a way of connecting hearts across generations.
That’s what inspired me to create the Unofficial Elvis Word Snacks Edition—a little book that captures the fun, nostalgia, and sparkle of Elvis through puzzles you can enjoy anywhere. It’s part of my Word Snacks series, a line of travel-friendly, bite-sized puzzle books made for quick, joyful brain breaks. And this one? It’s all about the King.
The Perfect Companion for Your Next Adventure
This edition is designed for travel—small enough to fit in your purse, backpack, or carry-on, yet packed with 20 all-directions word searches and 5 bonus crosswords that celebrate Elvis’s life, music, and movies.
Each puzzle is themed, so you might find yourself searching for beloved tunes one moment (Love Me Tender, Heartbreak Hotel, Suspicious Minds), and hunting down Elvis movie titles the next (Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas, Jailhouse Rock).
It’s a great way to unplug and unwind while keeping your mind sharp. Whether you’re traveling for work, heading on vacation, or just sneaking in a few minutes of “me time” between busy days, this compact book brings a little rock ‘n’ roll rhythm to your downtime.
Full-page solutions are tucked in the back, making it easy to double-check your work—or sneak a peek when you’re stumped!
Why “Word Snacks”?
When I started the Word Snacks series, I wanted to make puzzle books that felt approachable, friendly, and easy to enjoy in short bursts. Like grabbing a quick bite of joy between the bigger moments of your day.
Some puzzle books are huge and wonderful for long puzzle sessions, but I also wanted something people could toss into their bag and take anywhere—appointments, coffee breaks, flights, or cozy evenings at home.
The Elvis Word Snacks Edition captures that perfectly. It’s light, portable, and ready to travel—just like Elvis himself, who loved to be on the move.
Behind the Scenes: Creating a Book Fit for the King
This little puzzle collection was such a joy to make. Each word list and crossword clue is inspired by the music, performances, and pop-culture moments that made Elvis unforgettable.
When I was designing the puzzles, I found myself smiling every time I typed in a song title or movie name. Each word carried a story—memories of family singing along to Hound Dog, or seeing Viva Las Vegas for the first time on TV.
I wanted to channel that happiness into every page. That’s what makes puzzle creation so special for me—it’s like building a bridge between memories and play.
A Note About “Unofficial” Editions
I’m often asked why I label certain books as unofficial. It’s because I want to be respectful of the amazing artists and brands I admire. This book isn’t affiliated with or sponsored by Elvis Presley Enterprises—it’s simply a heartfelt fan creation meant to celebrate his influence through puzzles.
The word lists, crosswords, and layouts are all original designs from me at Purple Butterfly Publishing, created out of genuine admiration for the King and his legacy.
A Tribute for Fans of Every Generation
One of the things I love most about Elvis is that he continues to connect people—fans young and old, parents and kids, lifelong collectors and brand-new listeners discovering him for the first time on streaming playlists.
That’s the same kind of connection I hope this book sparks. Whether you’re an Elvis super-fan or just enjoy the retro charm of his era, this puzzle book gives you a way to experience that joy through play.
Imagine sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee, filling in a word search filled with Elvis song titles… or doing a crossword that has you remembering the names of his co-stars and hit singles. It’s nostalgic, fun, and full of good energy—the way a puzzle should be.
Compact Size, Big Personality
At 5x8 inches, this edition is smaller than our large-print books, but don’t let the size fool you—it’s bursting with variety. Each puzzle is handcrafted for maximum readability while still keeping the layout light and portable.
We also offer a large-print version for those who prefer bigger letters and a more relaxed solving experience. Both versions feature full-page solutions in the back for a smooth, stress-free finish.
If you’re an Elvis fan who loves to travel, this one’s for you.
