A few of the words

BOCCE
Bocce came to America with Italian immigrants, and many old neighborhoods kept a court behind the social club. The game is played with a small target ball called the pallino.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
CANNOLI
Cannoli come from Sicily, and the word is plural. One pastry is a cannolo, though almost nobody at the bakery counter says so.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
ESPRESSO
The word means pressed out, which is exactly how the machine forces hot water through the coffee. Espresso is served in a small cup, and it was a fixture at neighborhood social clubs.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Little Italy: a free online word search

Little Italy word search, free to print or play on screen. Think bakery windows, church bells and a bocce game going late on a summer night.

About Little Italy

In the old Italian neighborhoods, the day ran on the bakery's first bread and ended on somebody's stoop. Once a year the saint got carried down the street with dollar bills pinned to the ribbons, and the sausage smoke hung over the whole block. The men argued over bocce, the women argued over whose cannoli shells were crisper, and an accordion started up somewhere around nine.

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.
