Silent Screen: a free large-print word search

Silent Screen — a free, large-print word search celebrating the stars and slapstick of Hollywood's most magical, wordless decade.

About Nostalgia & Eras

Before sound transformed Hollywood, the silver screen spoke through gesture, shadow, and light. A pianist filled the theatre as Charlie Chaplin shuffled into frame, Buster Keaton kept his famous stone face, and Mary Pickford charmed a generation into buying tickets twice over. Studios like Keystone and Biograph cranked out reels at a furious pace, and audiences left the dark of the picture house blinking — dazzled and delighted in equal measure.

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.
