The Diamond: a free large-print word search

The Diamond — a free, large-print baseball word search set right in the ballpark: the raked dirt, the chalk lines, the green grass, the crack of the bat.

About The Diamond

Stand in the bleachers before first pitch and the whole ballpark lays itself out below you — the sharp white chalk of the baselines stretching toward the foul poles, the infield dirt raked smooth and dark, the outfield grass cut in those wide, clean stripes. The pitcher's mound rises just slightly at the center of it all, sixty feet six inches from home plate, a small hill that's carried more tension and drama than almost any other patch of ground in American life. Everything about a ballpark is precise: the bases exactly ninety feet apart, the warning track a rough-textured ribbon of dirt that tells an outfielder, without looking, that the fence is close.

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.
