Puzzles 1–6
Words run forward: left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally down. The large type stays the same; only the direction rules are gentler.

How every puzzle is checked
Coordinates read back
The checker follows every saved start point and direction through the finished grid and confirms the intended word.
One occurrence each
Every listed target must appear exactly once. If random filler creates an accidental duplicate, the grid is rejected and rebuilt.
Format measured
The PDF generator fixes the grid at 360 points, each cell at 36 points, grid letters at 26 points, and target words at 16 points.
Print without shrinking the type
Select the PDF that matches your paper, then use 100% or Actual Size. Avoid “Fit to page,” because it can reduce the measured letters and cells. Print pages 1–12 for activities only; answers begin on page 13.
The puzzle pages are black on white. Answer cells use a pale highlight that remains distinguishable in grayscale.
Why this is a format page
This collection is for anyone who wants more readable type. It is not limited to one age group, and it does not claim to treat or improve a medical condition.

Large-print design references
For context, the American Printing House for the Blind large-print guide describes 18-point type as a baseline and emphasizes sans-serif type, contrast, and reduced complexity. RNIB’s overview explains common large- and giant-print ranges. This pack uses 26-point bold letters inside the grids.
