A true large print puzzle book is laid out again for bigger type, not just enlarged: one puzzle per page, bold letters, generous spacing and black on white. Printable packs add another advantage: you can print on larger paper or at a higher scale for even bigger grids.
Forty word searches set in large, high-contrast type on a 13 by 13 grid: gardens, birds, baking, travel, music and more. Comfortable to read without squinting.

A large print puzzle should be redesigned for larger type, not shrunk onto the same page. That usually means fewer items per page, a grid with clear spacing and a word list in readable type. Our large print word search puts one 13 by 13 puzzle on each page, in bold letters.
For older solvers, contrast and spacing count as much as size. Both our packs print in solid black on white, with one puzzle per page, which also makes them easy to hand out one sheet at a time in a group or activity setting.
Our sudoku pack gives each 9 by 9 grid a full page, so the cells are large and there is room for pencil notes. It is not labelled large print, but many people who prefer large print find full-page grids comfortable.
We do not make crosswords at the moment. If you enjoy word puzzles in large print, a word find, another name for word search, is the closest match, and our large print pack has forty of them.
Every puzzle in our packs is generated and then checked by computer before it is allowed into a pack. Anything that fails a check is thrown away and replaced.
One route per maze
