Why large print matters

Most printable word searches cram a 20×20 grid into half a page of faint, tiny type. Ours do the opposite: fewer, larger letters, printed dark on a clean white page, usingAtkinson Hyperlegible — the typeface the Braille Institute designed for readers with low vision. The result is a puzzle you can enjoy in an armchair, not hunched under a lamp.

Looking for a gentler or tougher solve? Try the easy puzzle(across and down only), the extra large print version with our biggest letters, or the hard puzzle with words hidden in all eight directions. We also keep a curated page ofword searches for seniors.

Frequently asked questions

Are these large print word searches really free?

Yes — every puzzle on this site is free to print, download and photocopy for personal use, classrooms, activity groups and care homes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

What makes these word searches "large print"?

Each puzzle fills a full page with a 10×10 to 18×18 grid, so letters print around half an inch tall. Everything is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute specifically for low-vision readers, with strong contrast and no decorative clutter.

Can I get the answer keys?

Every PDF download includes the full answer key as page two, with each hidden word highlighted in the grid. You can also peek at the answer key on any puzzle page before printing.

Can I make my own large print word search?

Yes — the free word search maker turns any list of words into a large print puzzle you can print or download as a PDF, with an optional answer key.
