Large print by design, not a setting

Every word search here is large print by design: big, high-contrast letters in roomy grids you can read without squinting. They are free to play in your browser or print to solve with a pen. No sign-up, no app. Large print is not a setting you switch on; it is simply how the whole site is built, so a relaxing puzzle stays easy on the eyes.

On most sites, “large print” is a box buried in a menu, or just a bigger printout. Here it is the specification the whole site is built to. The letters in every grid are the largest text on the page, set in a clean sans-serif with generous spacing between them, and every puzzle uses the same roomy grid, and the cells never shrink to squeeze in more words. If you would like it bigger still, the text-size buttons at the top of every page (A / A+ / A++) enlarge the whole thing.

Curious about the thinking behind it? Our accessibility page explains what makes a word search comfortable for older eyes, things like letter size, contrast, and glare.

More than a list of words

There is more to each puzzle than the grid. Every one is built around a single warm theme and comes with a short written introduction and a few notes on the words, real facts, a small trip into the subject. It is made with care rather than churned out by a machine, which is what makes a quiet half-hour with one feel like time well spent.
