THE PRINT & PUZZLE COLLECTION · EASY

Easy Word Search: Free Printable PDF

A smaller word search with ten short, familiar words. This starting version uses a ten by ten grid with no diagonal or backward placements. Words run left to right or top to bottom, reducing the number of directions a new solver needs to check.

A good fit for Beginning word-search solvers and supervised early reading practice.

Easy word searches worksheet showing the exact default printable — The original printable. Ready when you are.

A LITTLE MORE THAN A WORKSHEET

Try this after you print.

Say each word, point to its first letter in the word bank, and search one row at a time. An adult can cover part of the grid with paper to reduce visual clutter.

Make the most of it

Start with just five words if ten feel overwhelming.
Let the learner mark found words in the bank.
Increase difficulty by adding diagonals only when ready.

Words to find

Default: 10 × 10 grid · Horizontal and vertical only · No backward words
