Seventies Home: a free large-print word search

Seventies home word search, free and large-print, where avocado kitchens, shag carpet, and lava lamps made every room unmistakable.

About Seventies Home

Step through the front door of a 1970s home and the senses fill at once: the deep pile of a burnt-orange shag carpet underfoot, the warm amber glow of a lava lamp on the sideboard, and walls lined in dark teak panelling that made even a small room feel like a den. The kitchen announced itself in avocado or harvest gold, the appliances, the tiles, even the fondue set waiting on the Formica worktop. Macramé wall hangings, wicker chairs, and a bold paisley wallpaper completed a look that was confident, cosy, and entirely its own.

    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.
