Maritimes word search, free and printable, with no sign-up. Lobster boats at the wharf and a fiddle going in the kitchen.

About The Maritimes

The three Maritime provinces sit along the Atlantic edge of Canada, and the sea decides most things there, from the workday to what's for supper. In the Bay of Fundy the tide climbs and falls by dozens of feet twice a day, leaving boats sitting on mud one hour and floating the next. Evenings often end in a kitchen with a fiddle out and someone stepping a jig on the linoleum, a pot of chowder still warm on the stove.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
