Pass the Gravy: a free large-print word search

Pass the Gravy, a free, large-print word search built around the Sunday table: the boat, the ladle, the warm rolls making their way around.

About Pass the Gravy

Sunday dinner had its own choreography, the gravy boat traveling from hand to hand, the mashed potatoes in the big ceramic bowl, the bread basket passed before anyone even sat down. A good linen napkin landed in your lap, the platter was carved at the head of the table, and for one hour the whole house smelled like drippings and warmth. Everything moved in a slow, generous circle, and nobody left hungry.

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.
