The Puppet Show: a free large-print word search

Free large-print puppet show word search, felt, strings, curtains, and tiny voices that somehow stole the whole room.

About The Puppet Show

A puppet show needs almost nothing: a scrap of felt, a wooden rod, a curtain strung across a doorway, and one person willing to do a funny voice. Marionettes dangle on a web of fine strings, each tug a tiny decision that makes a crowd gasp or laugh. From living-room skits to grand theater stages, the smallest cast members have always known how to hold an audience.

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.
