Printable word search for seniors

A good word search is calm and friendly. These have a big grid of bold letters, and the word list sits right beside it. Words run across, down and on the diagonal, and never backwards.

Choose a theme, a 12 by 12 or 15 by 15 grid, and a season border if you like. Each press of New puzzles hides the words in a new way, and the answer key circles every word.

Questions

Is the print big enough for seniors?

Yes. Large print uses 18 point type, and Extra large uses 22 point. The grid letters are big and bold on both.

Can I add my own title?

Yes. Type a title such as "Grandma's Sunday Puzzles" and it prints at the top of the page.

Do the words go backwards?

No. Words run left to right, top to bottom, or on the diagonal, which keeps them easy to spot.
