I enjoyed working this puzzle.
It comes from a Page-a-Day 2012 Puzzle Calendar (Workman Publishing, New York)

The directions do not indicate if any of the 16 words (names of shapes) are spelled in reverse fashion.
"Square" and "Squares" - will those count as reference to one finding or two findings.
No it does not, but for word search puzzles that is the norm.
Reverse spelling is allowed; hence the phrase "runs horizontally"
(for example) means either "from left to right" or "from right to left", as the case may be. . . .
So!? I have known that for decades. I don't automatically make assumptions and generalize
from the group to the specific.
No, the hence remark isn't applicable here. The phrase "runs horizotally" could mean reverse
spelling is allowed. It is inconclusive. It is not a given.
