The Podium: a free large-print word search

The Podium, a free, large-print word search celebrating the tears, the anthem, and the gold-medal moment.

About The Podium

Three athletes stand on tiered steps, and for a few breathless seconds the whole stadium stills. The national anthem rises, a flag climbs its pole, and the victor, eyes bright, bouquet trembling, presses a hand to the heart. It is the oldest human gesture: to be seen, to be honored, to stand at the top of the world.

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.
