Algorithm A set of steps that always works, such as the standard way to multiply on paper.
Area model A rectangle whose side lengths are the factors and whose inside is the product.

Calculate To work out an answer with numbers.
Carry To move a ten into the next place while you multiply on paper.
Commutative The property that lets you swap the factors: 3 × 8 and 8 × 3 are both 24.
Decompose To break a number into parts, such as 7 into 5 and 2, to make a fact easier.
Diagonal The slanted line of square numbers from corner to corner of a times table.
Distributive The property that lets you split a factor: 8 × 7 = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2).
Divide To split into equal groups. It undoes multiplying.

Inverse The opposite operation, the one that undoes another.
Lattice A method that uses a grid of boxes cut by slanted lines.

Skip counting Saying every second, fifth or tenth number: 5, 10, 15, 20.
Split To break a factor into easier parts before you multiply.
Times table A list of the multiples of one number, in order, with the facts that make them.

How this list was compiled: 126 entries written for this site: 48 products of the 2 to 12 times tables spelled as words, and 78 words of multiplication vocabulary. Every product was computed, spelled by a routine and read back to digits by a second one; the hyphen in Forty-two and the American form One hundred ten follow English Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/, read 2026-09-19. Vocabulary spellings were looked up in the American Heritage Dictionary, https://www.ahdictionary.com/, the same day. Area model and Equal groups follow the wording of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, grades 2 to 4, and the facts in the vocabulary clues follow Wikipedia's articles on multiplication. The products 108, 120, 121, 132 and 144 are left out because their names run past 14 letters. Licence: own work

How it works

This multiplication word search prints facts, not words: 16 from the 2 to 12 times tables, such as 7 × 8, beside a 15 by 15 grid that hides each product spelled out, FIFTYSIX. Each table has its own list, less a few clashing facts.

Read the full guide

Pick a times table

Under the puzzle, Start from a list has a list for every table from 2 to 12. The 7 Times Table lists ten facts, 2 × 7 to 7 × 12, and hides Fourteen to Eighty-four; 7 × 10 is missing, because Seventy reads inside Seventy-seven. One hundred ten needs 13 squares, so keep the 11 Times Table at 13 by 13 or larger.

Print it with the answer key

Print or save as PDF lays out 2 pages on Letter or A4: the facts and the grid with a Name and Date line, then the answer key. A clue such as 2 × 9 or 3 × 6 has one answer, Eighteen, so pupils check one fact against the other. Next, drill the same facts with multiplication flash cards.

For a vocabulary puzzle, pick Multiplication Words or Strategies and Properties, then untick Show clues, not words.
Grades 2 and 3: pick Easy Multiplication (34 entries, such as Six) and Large print.
Grade 5: pick Hard Multiplication Words and press Hard; the grid grows when an entry needs room.

Questions and answers

Why is each times table list missing a few facts?

A word that reads inside another would show twice in the grid. Seventy reads inside Seventy-seven, so 7 × 10 sits in the 10 Times Table, not the 7. Five products, 108, 120, 121, 132 and 144, are left out everywhere: their names pass 14 letters.

How are the products spelled?

The American way: a hyphen in Twenty-one to Ninety-nine, and One hundred ten with no "and", as on Wikipedia's page on English numerals, read in September 2026. The 61 facts cover every pair of factors from 2 to 12 except the five products left out.

Can pupils solve it on a screen?

Yes. Open this page on each device: every pupil starts on the same grid and the same facts. Tap a product's first letter, then its last, to mark it.
