The Scrap Bag: a free large-print word search

Quilting scrap bag word search, free and large-print. Dig into the calico, the gingham, the remnant, and every last charm square.

About The Scrap Bag

No serious quilter throws anything away. A scrap bag holds the proof: a strip of faded calico from a child's dress, a wedge of gingham left after a kitchen curtain, a fat bundle of muslin selvages saved just in case. Over generations, these remnants have found their way into some of the most beloved quilts ever made, each patch a small, thrifty act of remembrance.

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.
