Honeybees: a free large-print word search

Honeybee word search, free and large-print. Into the hive: queen, drone, swarm, nectar, and the golden work of the colony.

About Honeybees

A single honeybee colony can hold tens of thousands of workers, each with a role as precise as clockwork, foragers fan out across meadows while nurse bees tend the brood deep in wax-sealed cells. The queen, often the only egg-layer in the hive, may live for several years and lay well over a thousand eggs on a single summer day. When a colony outgrows its home, the old queen leads a swarm into the open air, a living, humming cloud searching for its next shelter.

How to play

    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.
