Chinese Takeout: a free online word search

A Chinese takeout word search, free and printable, with white cartons crowding the kitchen table and a fortune waiting at the very end.

About Chinese Takeout

The folded white carton with the little wire handle is an American invention, patterned after oyster pails, and it has carried lo mein and fried rice home on a thousand Friday nights. Somebody always claims the egg rolls, and the chopsticks end up as drumsticks for the grandchildren. Then comes the cookie, cracked open slowly, the little slip read aloud to the whole table.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
