Cacti: a free large-print word search

Cacti word search — free and large-print — where spines catch the light and a single bloom transforms the sill.

About Cacti

A cactus asks almost nothing of you — a sunny ledge, a little grit in the soil, and the patience to let weeks pass between waterings. In return it offers architecture that no other plant quite matches: geometric ribs, silvery spines arranged in perfect starbursts, and, when conditions align, a flower so vivid it seems borrowed from somewhere wilder. From the towering saguaro of the Sonoran Desert to a compact barrel cactus on a bright windowsill, cacti carry the feel of open, sun-bleached space into the quietest corner of a room.

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.
