Seventies screen word search, free and large-print. Relive the decade's drive-ins, prime-time dramas, and that shark-attack summer.

About Seventies Screen

The 1970s rewrote what a film could be, Spielberg's Jaws sent queues snaking round the block in the summer of 1975, and Star Wars lit up the skies two years later. On television, families gathered weekly for the warm Midwestern streets of Happy Days, the searing drama of Roots, and the sardonic humour of M*A*S*H. It was a decade that produced icons, the wisecracking detective, the underdog fighter, the disco queen, and somehow they all felt like neighbours.

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.
