The Jab: a free online word search

Boxing punches word search, free and printable. The jab, the hook, the cross. A fight turns on any one of them, and this prints clean for pen and paper.

About The Jab

A great boxing combination is as much rhythm as force, a lazy jab opens a lane, the cross follows the shoulder, and the hook arrives before the guard can recover. Fighters spend years drilling the slip and the duck until the body moves before the mind decides. The ropes that once seemed like a trap become a tool, the rebound feeding power back into the counter that ends the round.

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.
