Large Print Word Search Maker
Store-bought word searches are often too small for older eyes. With Puzzle Maker Pro, any list of words becomes a large print puzzle with bigger letters and grids, made for seniors and low vision.
How it works
- Open the maker and type your words, one per line (or keep the example list).
- Pick the puzzle and the level, and press Make my puzzle.
- Print it, or save it as a PDF. The answer key prints on its own page.
Ideas
- Activity directors. Make the week’s puzzle from a theme the group picked, or from residents’ own memories, in large print every time.
- Memory care. Use an easy level (words read across and down only) and a short list of familiar words.
- Families. A puzzle of family names and places for a grandparent who loves word searches but struggles with small print.
