Sweet corn word search, free and large-print. The snap and sweetness of a just-shucked ear, silk trailing, butter ready.

About Sweet Corn

Pull back the husk and the whole summer comes with it, that grassy sweetness, the pale silk clinging to every kernel, the soft creak of the stalk in a light wind. Sweet corn is a warm-season crop that converts its sugars to starch quickly after picking, which is why a farm stand ear, rushed straight to the pot, tastes so different from anything traveled far. At the height of the season a single stalk carries one or two ears, each one wrapped in its own papery leaves and crowned by the feathery tassel above.

    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.
