The Boardwalk: a free large-print word search

Boardwalk word search, free and large-print. Salt air, spinning lights, the pull of the carousel, and a paper cone of cotton candy still warm in your hand.

About The Boardwalk

When the afternoon heat softens into evening, the boardwalk comes alive, neon signs flicker on, the carousel organ pipes up, and the smell of popcorn and salt air drifts down the planks. Families trade crumpled tokens for another turn at the arcade, eyes on the prize shelf lined with stuffed animals and novelty toys. The Ferris wheel climbs high enough that, at the top, you can see the whole glittering midway below and the dark ocean stretching out beyond it.

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.
