A Day at the Zoo: a free online word search

Free zoo word search, past the fountain and along the shaded path, map in hand, ready to print and solve with a pen.

About A Day at the Zoo

A zoo visit has a rhythm all its own: the crinkle of the map at the front gate, the cool shade of the path near the big-cat enclosure, the keeper's steady voice as feeding time draws a crowd. Every exhibit tells a story of habitat and survival, and every bench offers a moment to sit and watch the world carry on at its own unhurried pace.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    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.
