Throne room word search, free and large-print. Picture the hall where stone walls glowed with candlelight and the court bowed low.

About The Throne Room

The throne room was the beating heart of any medieval castle, the place where a monarch received ambassadors, dispensed justice, and held the great feasts that bound loyalty to the crown. Thick tapestries lined the walls to keep out drafts and tell the stories of dynastic glory, while canopied thrones raised on a dais placed the sovereign above every eye in the hall. The flash of a herald's tabard, the lift of a goblet, the distant fanfare of brass, these were the sounds and colors that made the court feel, for a moment, like the center 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.
