A little background

About Travel & Places

Travel comes with a feeling nothing else quite matches, the salt-wind smell of a coast you've never visited before, the low rumble of a train pulling out of a grand old station, the way a canyon or a shoreline makes the world feel both enormous and exactly right. Travel & Places gathers word searches built from the names and ideas that hold all of that: the highways and harbor towns, the storied cities and the wild parklands, the rails that once stitched the country together and the wonders that stop you in your tracks.

Each puzzle plays right here in your browser, or print one out and take it wherever you like, pen in hand, no rush. No timer, no account, nothing to sign up for. Just pick a collection below and let your mind wander.

Common questions

Are these word searches large print?

Yes, that's the whole idea. The letters in the grid are the largest text on the page, and the A / A+ / A++ control at the top makes everything bigger still. Comfortable reading, never squinting.

Can I print them?

Yes. Every puzzle has a print button that opens a clean, large-print sheet to solve with a pen. Just the puzzle, none of the website around it.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no login, nothing to pay. Open a puzzle and play, and we'll never ask for your email unless you'd like puzzles sent to you.

Can I play on my phone or tablet?

Yes, the puzzles work just as well on a phone, tablet or computer. The grid fits your screen, and you can drag across the letters or simply tap the first and last one. Nothing to download.

What places do these word searches visit?

Coastlines, cities, landmarks and the open road: a gentle wander through favorite places near and far, one puzzle at a time.
