At the Feeder: a free large-print word search

At the feeder — a free, large-print puzzle celebrating the cardinals, chickadees, and sparrows that brighten any backyard morning.

About Garden & Nature

A well-stocked bird feeder is one of the quiet pleasures of a backyard — the flash of a cardinal's red against winter-bare branches, the acrobatic hang of a chickadee snatching a sunflower seed before darting back to the hedge. Sparrows jostle and juncos scratch beneath for dropped millet, while a nuthatch inches headfirst down the post as if gravity were optional. The whole small circus runs on seed, suet, and a little patience from whoever fills the feeder each morning.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word from the list.Press the first letter and drag to the last — across, down or diagonally, forwards or back. Or tap the first letter, then the last.

    It stays marked.Found words get a soft teal line through them, on the grid and in the list.
  3. 3
    Make it comfortable.Use the A / A+ / A++ size control any time, or pinch the grid for a closer look.
