An American coach in England
Ted Lasso won hearts (and awards) by being relentlessly kind, and this word search gathers its world. You'll start with folksy coach TED LASSO, his quiet sidekick COACH BEARD, club owner REBECCA, and the man who keeps things running, HIGGINS.
Each puzzle pulls a fresh mix from the list, so the locker room is rearranged every time you play — a quick warm-up on Easy, and a Hard-mode challenge once the diagonals and backwards words appear.
Richmond through and through
The whole club is here. Track down grumpy veteran ROY KENT, star striker and self-proclaimed WONDERKID JAMIE TARTT, PR whiz KEELEY, ambitious kit-man NATE, and players DANI and journalist TRENT. There are the famous BISCUITS Ted bakes for the boss, the team's GREYHOUNDS nickname, the DIAMOND DOGS, and plenty of British FOOTBALL BANTER.
Kindness that conquered TV
Ted Lasso began life in a series of NBC Sports adverts, where Jason Sudeikis first played a clueless American football coach hired to manage an English soccer team. Apple turned the idea into a full comedy that premiered on Apple TV+ in 2020, about Ted taking charge of the fictional Premier League club AFC RICHMOND despite knowing almost nothing about the sport.
Instead of tactics, Ted leads with relentless optimism, homespun wisdom and home-baked biscuits — summed up by the yellow 'BELIEVE' sign above the dressing-room door. Its warmth struck a chord during a difficult few years and earned it a haul of Emmy Awards, making it one of the most beloved comedies of its era.
