The Swimming Hole: a free large-print word search

Swimming hole word search, free and large-print. Sun-warmed rock, cold water rushing up, the rope in your hands before the drop.

About The Swimming Hole

A good swimming hole needs just the right combination: a deep pocket of cold water, a rope hung from an overhanging limb, and a flat rock for drying off in the afternoon sun. The approach is always barefoot, gravel giving way to cool mud at the bank, and the sound of someone's cannonball echoes off the trees before the splash even settles. On the quieter stretches, tadpoles scatter in the shallows and the current barely whispers, making it easy to forget the rest of the world exists.

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.
