Word search you can actually read.

The puzzle letters are bold capitals: 20.5 pt in The Big Easy-Read Word Hunt, 18.5 pt in The Big Easy-Read Christmas Word Hunt, 18 pt in Old Testament Stories, 18 pt in Words Worth Loving, 18 pt in Christmas Words, 18 pt in Do You Remember?, 18 pt in Words Worth Knowing and 18 pt in Winter Words. Every book is 8.5 × 11 inches (21.6 × 27.9 cm), with one puzzle to a page, so there's plenty of room to circle what you find.

It's Atkinson Hyperlegible, made by the Braille Institute for readers with low vision. Characters that are easy to confuse, like B and 8, O and 0, or E and F, are drawn to look clearly different. It's the same typeface you're reading on this website.

We have three series, one for each level. The ribbon on every cover names the series, and the badge shows Level 1, 2 or 3. Amber (easy) is the relaxing one, and a good start for anyone new to word searches. Every word reads forward: across, down, or slanting down to the right. Sapphire (medium) is a step up. Words run across both ways, up and down, and slanting down to the right. Diamond (challenging) is for anyone who finds ordinary word searches too easy. Words hide in all eight directions, with overlaps and near misses. Not sure? Try this week's free puzzle at each level.

Not in the Amber (easy) books. Every word reads forward: across, down, or slanting down to the right, with no backward, upward or reversed words. The Sapphire (medium) level adds backward and upward words, and the Diamond (challenging) level uses all eight directions.

In most of our books, a word to learn. The Big Easy-Read Word Hunt and The Big Easy-Read Christmas Word Hunt have a Word to Know on every puzzle page, like TRIVET or LEBKUCHEN. Words Worth Loving has a word worth loving on every page, like JUBILANT, plus a hidden gem: that word is hidden in the grid too, but not in the list. Christmas Words has a word worth loving on every page, like JOVIAL, plus a hidden gem: that word is hidden in the grid too, but not in the list. Words Worth Knowing has a word worth knowing on every page, like PETRICHOR, plus a hidden gem: that word is hidden in the grid too, but not in the list. Winter Words has a word worth knowing on every page, like SASTRUGI, plus a hidden gem: that word is hidden in the grid too, but not in the list. Each one comes with how to say it, what it means and where it came from. Old Testament Stories has a King James verse on every page, quoted word for word, plus a hidden gem from the story and a secret line spelled by the leftover letters. Do You Remember? has a true “Do you remember?” fact on every page, plus a hidden gem with a clue and a secret question spelled by the leftover letters.

Yes. A full answer key sits at the back of every book, with each word circled.

100 in each, one per page, with the word list under the grid and a tick box beside every word. There are 1,824 words to find in The Big Easy-Read Word Hunt, 3,000 in The Big Easy-Read Christmas Word Hunt, 2,500 in Old Testament Stories, 2,500 in Words Worth Loving, 2,500 in Christmas Words, 2,500 in Do You Remember?, 2,000 in Words Worth Knowing and 2,000 in Winter Words.

Not at all. We make them with older eyes in mind, but a clear, uncrowded page is easier for anyone. For teens and adults who love words and want more of a challenge, the Sapphire level adds backward and upward words, and Words Worth Loving has a word worth loving on every page, like JUBILANT. The Diamond level is our hardest.
