Two pages: the puzzle, then the answer key. Free for personal and classroom use.
How to make a large-print word search
- 01Write 8 to 15 words. Shorter words (under 11 letters) fit large grids best. Names, places, a hobby, a family trip.
- 02Pick the grid and difficulty. Easy hides words left-to-right and top-to-bottom only, which is kindest for first-timers and memory care.
- 03Download and print. Print at 100% (“actual size”), not “fit to page”, to keep the letters at full size.
What makes it large print
- 18 pt minimum
- Checked on every grid. If it can't be met, the maker says so instead of shrinking the letters.
- Hyperlegible font
- Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute so I, l and 1 never look alike.
- Black on white
- No grey letters, no busy backgrounds, no tiny decorations behind the grid.

Questions
Can I sell puzzles I make here?
The free maker is for personal, family, classroom and care-home use. To sell, use a Puzzle Studio plan, which includes a commercial licence for everything it makes. [CHECK LICENCE WORDING]
Why can't I make a 20 × 20 grid?
On a Letter page, 20 columns means letters around 13 pt. That's regular print, not large print. We'd rather tell you than sell you small letters.
Is every puzzle solvable?
Yes. Every word is placed once and checked, and the filler letters are checked so they don't spell a word from your list a second time, or anything rude.
Do you keep my words?
No. The free maker doesn't need an account and doesn't save what you type. [CONFIRM WITH PRIVACY POLICY]
