Keeping Score: a free large-print word search

Keeping score word search, free and large-print, for every pencil-and-pad moment when someone asks, "Wait, who's actually winning?"

About Keeping Score

Something about the scratch of pencil on paper is deeply satisfying, the moment when someone updates the scorepad after a hard-fought round. Columns fill with numbers, a margin opens, and the leader changes hands more than once before the final tally. Win or nail-biting tie, keeping score is half the game.

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.
