The Pitch: a free large-print word search

The Pitch — a free, large-print baseball word search. Step to the mound where the windup hides the grip and every release tells a different story.

About The Pitch

The duel between pitcher and batter is the quiet heart of baseball — a chess match played in seconds, measured in inches. A fastball that tails at the knees, a curveball that drops off the table, a changeup that arrives just late enough to fool the hands: each pitch is its own small act of deception. The count changes everything, turning a comfortable 0–2 into a tightrope at 3–2, where one wild pitch in the dirt can shift the whole inning.

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.
