The Funny Pages: a free large-print word search

The Funny Pages, a free, large-print word search soaked in printer's ink, newsprint, and the quiet Sunday-morning thrill of turning straight to the comics.

About The Funny Pages

Long before the internet, the funnies arrived folded inside the Sunday paper, smelling faintly of fresh ink. Readers of every age smoothed the pages flat on the kitchen table, trading sections across coffee cups and cereal bowls. The best strips ran for decades, a cast of beloved characters aging not a day, delivering the same reliable punchline in four tidy panels, week after week.

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.
