African plain word search

The African Plain: a free large-print word search

African plain word search, free and large-print. Roam the open savanna where acacia shadows stretch long and the horizon burns gold.

About The African Plain

The African savanna is one of the great open landscapes on earth, a rolling sea of amber grass broken by flat-topped acacia trees, ancient baobabs, and the occasional rocky kopje rising from the plain. As the sun drops toward the horizon, the sky shifts through layers of orange, copper, and deep violet, casting long shadows across the dust. It is a land of enormous quiet and enormous scale, where the edge of the world always seems just one more ridge away.

How to play

    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
