Large Print Word Search Maker
Turn any word list into a big-letter puzzle in seconds — family names, this week's Bible verse, a birthday theme, spelling words. Everything is generated on this page (nothing is uploaded), and the PDF includes an answer key if you want one.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make my own large print word search?
Type or paste your words (one per line or separated by commas), give the puzzle a title, choose a grid size and difficulty, then click Generate. Print it or download the PDF — with an optional answer key page.
How many words can I use?
Between 3 and about 25 words works best. Each word must fit inside the grid, so use a bigger grid for long words. Spaces and punctuation are removed automatically — "ICE CREAM" becomes ICECREAM.
Is the maker free for classrooms and care homes?
Yes. Everything you create is yours to print and photocopy freely — activity coordinators, teachers and families are exactly who this tool is for.
What do the difficulty levels change?
Easy places words across and down only. Medium adds diagonals. Hard hides words in all eight directions, including backwards.
