Family station wagon word search, free and large-print. Find the cooler, the road map, the roof rack, and every memory of the great summer drive.

About The Family Station Wagon

The family station wagon was a whole world on wheels. Wood-paneled sides caught the morning sun as the cooler was wedged in beside the luggage, and whoever claimed the way-back seat staked out the best view of the highway horizon. A paper road atlas rode shotgun, folded and re-folded at every state line, the family dog pressed warm against the blanket between the kids.

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.
