The Yarn Basket: a free large-print word search

Yarn basket word search, free and large-print, soft wool, wound skeins, and the quiet pleasure of a full basket by the chair.

About The Yarn Basket

A basket of yarn beside the easy chair is one of those small, reliable comforts, the soft bump of a wound ball, a loosely twisted hank waiting to be wound, colors chosen weeks ago still carrying a little anticipation. Wool, cotton, alpaca: each fiber has its own hand, its own way of sliding through your fingers as the work grows. The rhythm of knit and purl, the gentle tug of a fresh skein, the click of needles, it all settles into something that feels very much like home.

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.
