Born in 1939: Your Life in Wordsearch Puzzles: 5 (Time Travel Wordsearch Puzzles)

Fully updated for 2025 – a bumper book of wordsearch puzzles packed with people, things and events from your year of birth to the present day.

For anyone born in 1939 – with their 86th birthday in 2025 – this is the activity book you've been looking for!

1939 was the year that the war began, and the BBC Home Service first broadcast. You won't remember that, but what about trams and gabardine raincoats? How about the books you read as a child? Do you recall which household goods were on ration?

And then you grew up… but what happened in the year you turned 21? Which Olympics can you remember? What were the biggest UK hits on your 40th birthday? You'll find all these and many more in this nostalgic look at UK life over the last 86 years.

This is a large-format word search book with easy-to-read type – but this is no ordinary puzzle book. Some of these Time Travel Puzzles® are easy; others have been made fiendishly difficult with clues to solve, missing words and false beginnings. But each one is bound to bring memories flooding back for anyone born in 1939!
