Cousins & Kin: a free online word search

A cousins and kin word search, free and printable, for the reunion table with its aunts, uncles and one great-uncle who always tells the same story.

About Cousins & Kin

Every family gathering has a seating chart nobody wrote down. Most reunions in this country land in summer, often around the Fourth of July or Labor Day weekend, and the food table does more organizing than any printed plan. The cousins end up at the folding table at the far end of the church hall, while Grandma sits in the middle and can still tell you exactly how everyone is related.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
