Blockbuster Cinema: a free large-print word search

1980s blockbuster cinema word search, free and large-print. Popcorn, darkened aisles, and the roar of a Saturday-night crowd.

About Blockbuster Cinema

Saturday nights in the 1980s had a particular electricity about them. You'd queue around the block, clutch your ticket, and find your seat just as the lights dimmed and the trailers began their thunderous roll. The decade gave us some of cinema's most thrilling hours, jet fighters and jungle soldiers, loveable monsters and teenage adventurers, all of it bigger, louder, and more dazzling than anything that had come before.

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.
