A few of the words

ENCORE

BRAVO
Purists cheer 'bravo' for a man, 'brava' for a woman, and 'bravi' for the whole company, though on Broadway, a full-throated 'bravo' aimed at anyone on that stage is always understood.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
BOUQUET
The tradition of throwing or presenting flowers to performers dates back centuries in European opera houses; on Broadway, bouquets handed up to the stage at curtain call remain one of the most personal tributes an audience can offer.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
SPOTLIGHT
The follow spot, the bright, tight circle of light that tracks a performer across the stage, has been a fixture of theatrical productions since limelight (literally burning lime) first dazzled London audiences in the early 1800s.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Curtain Call: a free large-print word search

Curtain call word search, free and large-print. The lights blaze, the cast lines up, roses sail from the balcony, and the house shakes with applause.

About Curtain Call

The curtain call is theater's sweetest ritual, the moment the story pauses and the real people step forward to share in the joy they've created. On Broadway, a standing ovation can roll on for minutes, the whole cast hand-in-hand, the star stepping downstage to one last blaze of the spotlight. Roses and bouquets arc through the air, "bravo" rings from the upper balcony, and for just a little while, nobody wants the night to end.

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.
