State capitals word search, free and large-print. Fifty cities, one seat of power each, gleaming domes rising above every statehouse lawn.

About State Capitals

Every U.S. state has a single capital city where its government calls home, sometimes the biggest city in the state, often a quieter one chosen to keep power away from any one metropolis. Statehouses range from modest brick halls to grand domed buildings clad in granite or marble, their rotundas echoing with more than two centuries of debate and ceremony. The gold or copper dome has become the universal shorthand for a seat of state power, visible for miles across a flat prairie or perched on a hill above a river bend.

  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.
