Create the bored panda logo by solving a word search in 4 different remixes, and share your creation!
This is a visual puzzle and an art experiment in one.
First puzzle is filled only with the words bored and panda, many times, no need for a word bank.
Each puzzle from the rest is filled with words related to pandas, nature, warmth, kindness, and calm moments, and also words for the boredpanda community.
As you find and shade with a marker (not circle) the hidden words (from the word bank), the image slowly appears — not drawn with lines, but formed by the words themselves.
This technique is called Lexapics:
Choose your difficulty level, print the puzzle, and try to reveal the panda.
Then share your result in the comments — we want to see how it turned out!

✨ What is Lexapics?
Lexapics is an art-based word puzzle where meaning and image overlap.
Turns solving into something emotional — the picture doesn’t just appear, it emerges from the words that describe it.
It’s a quiet kind of magic: the more meaning you find, the clearer the image becomes.
