Easy grids, big letters, across and down only
Make an easy word search for a beginning reader. Type your own words or pick a ready set. The grid is small, the letters are big, and words only go across and down unless you choose otherwise. An answer key is added.
Your worksheet:
In the easy setting words read from left to right or from top to bottom, the way a child reads. No word is hidden backwards.
Each puzzle is checked so that every word appears exactly once, and the filler letters do not spell anything they should not.
Type the words above, choose the grid size and press Print. It is free and there is no sign-up.

Five words in a 6 by 6 grid, eight in an 8 by 8 grid and ten in a 10 by 10 grid. A longer list makes more puzzles.
