Golden Age of Sport: a free large-print word search

1920s golden age of sport, free large-print puzzle evoking Babe Ruth, roaring crowds, and the heroes who made sport feel immortal.

About Golden Age of Sport

The 1920s were a decade when sport stopped being a pastime and became a spectacle. Vast new stadiums drew tens of thousands, and the wireless carried the roar of the crowd into parlours across the land. Names like Ruth, Dempsey, and Jones were spoken with the reverence once reserved for kings, ordinary men who did extraordinary things under bright afternoon skies.

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.
