The Modern Age: a free large-print word search

The Modern Age word search, free and large-print, celebrates the airplane, the radio, and the motorcar that remade how the world moved, spoke, and dreamed.

About The Modern Age

Within a single lifetime, a world lit only by gas lamps gave way to electric streetlights, ringing telephones, and the crackle of a radio in the parlor. The motorcar turned rutted country roads into arteries of commerce, while the airplane compressed continents into hours. These were not quiet improvements, they were revolutions in iron, copper, and rubber that reset every clock on earth.

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.
