Grunge & Flannel: a free large-print word search

Grunge & Flannel — free large-print word search celebrating the unbothered, layered look of early-nineties style.

About Grunge & Flannel

Before fashion could be scrolled through or filtered, it lived in thrift-store racks — a $3 flannel tossed over a thermal, jeans worn thin at the knee, combat boots laced up loose. The early nineties rewrote the rulebook by ignoring it entirely: the more faded and frayed, the better. Hair fell where it wanted, sleeves hung past the wrist, and a band tee tucked under a plaid shirt was all the outfit anyone needed.

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.
