Large print word search
Big, bold letters and a new puzzle every time. Choose a theme, then print it with the answer key or solve it right here.
Why large print word searches?
Word searches are one of the most relaxing ways to keep the mind active. Large print makes them comfortable for anyone with tired eyes or low vision, for seniors, and for young readers.
Tips for solving
- Look for unusual letters first. Words with Q, Z, X, J or K are easy to spot.
- Scan for double letters like the "LL" in HOLLY or the "OO" in BOOTS.
- Go row by row looking for the first letter of one word at a time.
- On harder puzzles, remember words can run backwards and diagonally.
Ideas for activity directors
Print a themed puzzle to match the season or an upcoming event, such as Thanksgiving, baseball season or a garden club meeting, and use the words to start a conversation afterward.
Questions
Are these word searches really free to print?
Yes. Print as many as you like for personal use, classrooms, libraries and activity programs. Each click of 'New puzzle' makes a new one.
How big is the print?
The 10 × 10 size prints letters about 1.5 cm (over half an inch) tall on letter paper. 12 × 12 and 15 × 15 are smaller but still large print.
Does it come with an answer key?
Yes. When you print, the answer key appears on a second page with every hidden word highlighted.
Can I make a word search with my own words?
Choose 'My own words…' in the theme list and type your words. It's great for birthdays, family reunions and church groups.
