Flappers & Style: a free large-print word search

1920s fashion word search — free and large-print. Bobbed hair, silk chemises, and the glittering defiance of the flapper era.

About Nostalgia & Eras

The 1920s rewrote the rules of dressing from the hem up. Skirts rose to the knee, hair was cut scandalously short into the sleek bob, and the dropped-waist chemise dress replaced the corset with something altogether freer. Flappers finished the look with ropes of pearls, a cloche hat pulled low over one eye, and just enough rouge to raise an eyebrow across the room.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word from the list.Press the first letter and drag to the last — across, down or diagonally, forwards or back. Or tap the first letter, then the last.
  2. 2
    It stays marked.Found words get a soft teal line through them, on the grid and in the list.
  3. 3
    Make it comfortable.Use the A / A+ / A++ size control any time, or pinch the grid for a closer look.
