The Greek Taverna: a free online word search

A Greek taverna word search, free and printable, with no sign-up. Charcoal smoke over the lamb, and honeyed pastry waiting at the end.

About The Greek Taverna

A good taverna runs on olive oil poured without counting and lamb turning slowly over coals. Greece has been pressing olives for thousands of years, and the country still ranks among the world's top olive oil producers. Tables get pushed together as the family grows through the evening, and somebody always orders one more plate for the middle. Dessert shows up whether you asked or not, usually sticky, usually with a little glass of something clear beside it.

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.
