Eighties Pop: a free large-print word search

Eighties pop word search, free and large-print. Synths, shoulder pads, and the electrifying chart-toppers that lit up the decade.

About Eighties Pop

The 1980s pop scene was a world of sequencers humming in the small hours, mascara in the morning, and a new single dropping every Friday that could rearrange your whole weekend. New Romantic bands dressed like pirates and princes, while synth-pop duos filled arenas with nothing but two keyboards and an attitude. The radio was a portal, tune in at the right moment and a song could fix itself to a memory forever.

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.
