Printing for a group or a care home? The Bold & Easy Large-Print Pack has 40 more large-print pages that aren't on the free site.
How to use these pages
Large-print word searches for adults and seniors: everyday and nostalgic topics on a 9 by 9 grid with big, bold letters and a word list in large type. Words run across and down only, so the puzzles are relaxing rather than tricky.
They suit anyone who finds small print hard to read, people with low vision, and activity sessions in care homes and day centres. Every puzzle has an answer key: tap “Show solution” on the page or print it.
Want your own topic? The word search maker makes a large-print puzzle from any list of words: choose the “Large print” option.
Frequently asked questions
How big are the letters?
Printed on Letter or A4 paper, the grid letters are about 25 point and the word list about 27 point, roughly three times the size of a newspaper puzzle.
Are these word searches suitable for people living with dementia?
Many activity coordinators use large-print, low-clutter puzzles like these. Words only go across and down and the grids are small, but every person is different, so try one together first.
Can I print copies for a group?
Yes, these pages are free to print for personal, family and classroom use, including activity groups.
Is there a PDF to print?
Yes. Every page has free PDF downloads for US Letter and A4 paper, with the picture centered inside print-safe margins. Choose "Download PDF (Letter)" or "Download PDF (A4)" on the page and print at 100% (actual size).
