What makes these puzzles large print

Large print puzzles use a 15x12 grid, smaller than the 15x15 grid of our Medium level. That is what lets every letter be set much larger on a single page. The exact letter size is printed in the footer of each PDF, so you can check it before you hand the page to someone.

Who they are for

These puzzles suit seniors, readers with low vision and anyone who prefers larger, easier-to-read print. Large print is about legibility, not about an easier puzzle. If you want fewer directions to look for, try the Easy word searches, where words run only across and down, in standard print.

Printing tips

Print at 100% scale (actual size), not fit to page: the margins already work on both A4 and US Letter. Black and white is fine, because no puzzle on this site relies on color. Print only page 1 if you want the puzzle without the answer key.

Common questions

Are they free? Yes, every puzzle and answer key is free for personal and educational use. Is there an answer key? Yes, on page 2 of the same PDF.
