ARIA
Borrowed from opera, the aria found a natural home on Broadway wherever a character needed a moment of pure, unguarded feeling, think of it as the soul laid bare in song.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Show Tunes: a free large-print word search

Show tunes word search, free and large-print, where every word hums with melody, harmony, and the thrill of a Broadway finale.

About Show Tunes

A great show tune can stop a room cold, one soaring phrase and every heart in the theater lifts in unison. Broadway composers have always known that the melody carries the emotion, but it is the lyric underneath that makes a stranger feel understood. From the soft opening of an overture to the last blazing note of a finale, a well-made song tells an entire story in three minutes or less.

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.
