I think my dad might have liked this puzzle…

... although not because he liked Find-a-Word puzzles

Actually he much preferred cryptic crosswords when it came to puzzles.

He would watch me doing a Sudoku or a KenKen with some interest, but he never really enjoyed those either.

Although he had fun trying to work out the mathematics of Sudoku!

Anyway, i think he would have liked this puzzle because the theme was railroad trains and each word to be found was a type of train car.
