Large print word search puzzles

These word search puzzles print in large type: the grid stretches across the full width of the page and the word list is set in a much bigger font.

Number of grids

Each grid is followed by its solution. For a PDF, choose “Save as PDF” as the destination.

It's the format that works for seniors, low-vision players, and group activities where words get circled with a marker. The puzzles themselves are exactly the same — only the size changes.

Each grid is followed by its solution, with the words circled and the mystery word written out in full, and the whole batch can be saved as a PDF.

Frequently asked questions

What's different from a regular puzzle?

The grid is printed across the full width of the page instead of at its usual size, and the word list is set in much larger type. The puzzle and its hidden words are identical.

Are these suitable for low-vision players?

They're designed for mild to moderate low vision: big letters, an enlarged word list, and crisp black on white with no gray fills. The contrast also holds up well if you enlarge the page further on a photocopier.

Is the mystery word still there?

Yes. As on all our grids, the letters left over once every word is circled spell a mystery word, written out in full on the solution page.

Is it free?

Entirely, with no sign-up. Print as many puzzles as you like, or save them as a PDF to reprint later.
