Harvest word search, free and large-print. Corn, gourds, pumpkins, and the season's full, golden table.

About The Harvest

When autumn deepens, fields give up their last great weight, heavy pumpkins resting on dry vines, braided garlic hung in barn doorways, apples piled in wooden crates still cool from the morning air. The harvest season has anchored Thanksgiving since the earliest American celebrations, a time to count what the earth has given before the frost takes hold. A cornucopia overflowing with squash, corn, wheat, and pears is one of the oldest symbols of the season, abundance made visible, warmth stored against the cold.

    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.
