Grand Canyon word search

The Grand Canyon: a free online word search

Grand Canyon word search, free with nothing to install or sign in to. The Colorado River is in there, and the silence of the South Rim at dawn.

About The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon stretches more than 270 miles through the Colorado Plateau, its walls dropping nearly a vertical mile to the Colorado River below. Layer by layer, the canyon exposes almost two billion years of Earth's history, pale limestone near the top, deep red sandstone in the middle, and the ancient dark Vishnu Schist at the very bottom. Mule trains still wind down the Bright Angel Trail, hikers still catch their breath at every overlook, and the first light of sunrise turns the buttes and mesas a color no photograph quite captures.

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.
