But there are more than 25 countries in Europe…

Yes, there are more than 25 countries in Europe. This list of 25 European capital cities is not inclusive: there are more capitals in Europe than 25.

But some of the cities had long names which affected the puzzle size. So I featured 25 capitals including many of the most famous and populous European capitals such as:

  • Rome
  • Paris
  • London
  • Athens
  • Berlin
  • and many more…

What I found interesting researching this puzzle is that the number of countries in Europe differed depending on the reference. Some references said 44, some said 50. The most astute answer that I could find about this discrepancy was from NationsOnline.org who stated that there are 44 sovereign nations in Europe, but the area of Europe is shared by 50 countries.





Who is the word search for?

I made this word search with middle school aged children in mind, but it can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. (It just might be a little tricky for younger students.)
