How to play Find Your Thanks
Find a word that belongs in a specific thank-you. Untangle the letters to reveal a themed word. A familiar term becomes a small puzzle, followed by a gentle prompt you can keep private or share with someone.
Your starting point
Find a word that belongs in a specific thank-you.
The rules
Rearrange or choose the scrambled letters to spell the target word. Use the available word controls, check your answer and try another arrangement if needed.
A helpful approach
Look for a familiar beginning or ending. Try a different arrangement when the first guess stalls, and use the word as a thought rather than a label. Think of one concrete helpful action, even if the rest of the day was difficult.
After the game
How might the revealed word fit an ordinary moment in your own day? What small detail would make your thank-you recognisable to the person who receives it?
There is no need to turn a small moment into a perfect performance. Play again if you want to explore it, or leave it here and take the thought into your day.
The feeling behind it
A thoughtful thank-you can name what mattered without pretending everything is easy. Find the small acts that made today possible.
Matariki includes remembrance, celebrating the present and looking ahead. It is not simply the Māori word for gratitude.
Read our gratitude story, inspired by Matariki in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Mānawatia a Matariki: About Matariki provides the source context.
