Questions
How big should the letters be in a word search for seniors?
Large letters with space around them are easier to read. The gentle level prints a 10 × 10 grid that fills the width of the page, so each letter is roughly 1.5 cm wide.
How many words should I use?
Eight words suit the gentle level, ten the moderate level and twelve the challenging level. Familiar words from one theme are easier to find than unrelated words.
Can I use the names of family members?
Yes. The word search maker runs in your browser and does not send or save the words you type.
Is it really free?
Yes, with no account. A weekly pack with seven different activities needs a free account.
