The Afternoon Nap: a free large-print word search

Cat nap word search — free and large-print — built around the drowsy, sunlit world of a curled-up, quietly purring cat.

About The Afternoon Nap

A cat in full afternoon repose is one of nature's most convincing arguments for slowing down. The patch of sunlight shifts slowly across the floor, and the cat shifts with it — tucked into a cushion, a basket, or simply a warm fold of blanket. That steady, low purr hums along like a tiny engine idling in perfect contentment.

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.
