A simile compares two unlike things using like or as. A metaphor skips the comparison word and simply calls one thing the other, while hyperbole exaggerates past the truth on purpose and alliteration repeats a starting consonant. Find these terms along with euphemism, oxymoron, paradox, analogy, and idiom hidden in the grid.
