Canning & Preserving: a free large-print word search

Canning & Preserving, a free, large-print word search for anyone who loves the satisfying pop of a sealed lid.

About Canning & Preserving

A row of filled jars cooling on a kitchen towel is a deeply satisfying sight, their lids pinging one by one as the seal pulls tight. Home canning carries the flavors of a summer garden, sweet strawberry jam, tangy dill pickles, jewel-bright jelly, straight into the middle of winter. The rhythm of the process itself is meditative: sterilize, fill, wipe the rim, set the lid, and lower the jar into the rolling boil.

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.
