Fireworks: a free large-print word search

Fireworks word search — free and large-print — where every crack, burst, and bloom lights the night sky all over again.

About Seasonal

There is nothing quite like the first rocket climbing into a black summer sky, trailing a thin silver thread before it blooms into a chrysanthemum of color. Shells burst in overlapping rings, crackles chase each other to the horizon, and the low thud rolls through your chest long after the light is gone. The finale arrives like a conversation where everyone talks at once — a wall of color and sound that leaves the crowd breathless, the air sweet with smoke, and ears ringing in the best possible way.

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.
