A Beethoven symphonies word search, free and printable with no sign-up. Think Vienna in 1824, and a choir finally joining the orchestra.

About Beethoven's Symphonies

Beethoven wrote nine symphonies between 1800 and 1824, and the whole of Vienna seemed to argue about each one. He started out in the shadow of Haydn and Mozart and ended up writing music so big that later composers were nervous to follow him. By the Ninth he could barely hear a note of it, and that's the part that still gets people.

    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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
