The Percolator: a free large-print word search

Percolator word search, free & large-print. Hot coffee bubbling up through the basket, steam curling off the pot, that unmistakable morning aroma.

About The Percolator

Long before drip machines filled kitchen counters, the stovetop percolator was the heart of the morning. Water heated in the bottom chamber, rose through a hollow stem, and rained down over the grounds again and again until the coffee deepened to a rich, dark brew. The whole process was visible, the glass knob on the lid flickering with amber, and the burbling sound alone was enough to pull anyone from sleep.

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.
