Free Games How it works
- Open any of the puzzles listed below.
- Set it up the way you like it: the size, the difficulty, the theme.
- Press Print this puzzle.
- Your browser’s own print window opens. Send it to paper, or choose Save as PDF if you would rather keep it for later.
Nothing is downloaded or installed. The buttons, adverts, menus and the rest of the page drop away, and only the puzzle lands on the paper, sized to fill it. The printed puzzle is always empty, so whatever you had already filled in on screen stays on screen.
The puzzles you can print
- Word Search: 10 ready-to-print puzzles. Ten word search puzzles already laid out for paper, one to a page, with the word list underneath each grid and a full answer key at the end. There is no game to open first.
- Sudoku: 10 ready-to-print puzzles. Ten Sudoku puzzles from Easy to Hard, already laid out for paper, one to a page, with a full answer key at the end. There is no game to open first.
- Sudoku. The full 9 × 9 grid with the starting numbers in bold black and every empty square left roomy enough to pencil a number into. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard before you print.
- Daily Sudoku. The same thing, but it is today’s puzzle, so everyone who prints it on the same day is working on the same grid.
- Cat Sudoku. The queens puzzle with cats: one cat per row, column and colour, and no two may touch. The printed grid comes in three sizes, with the colour regions outlined in heavy black so they are easy to follow even on a black-and-white printer. Mark your cats with a pencil.
- Word Search. The letter grid in big, well-spaced capitals with the list of words to find printed underneath, ready for a pencil or a highlighter. Choose a theme and a grid size first.
- Mini Crossword. The empty crossword grid with its numbered squares, and the Across and Down clues set out below it in clear large print. Thirty-three puzzles to work through.
- Bingo cards for a group. Print up to twenty cards at once, every one of them different, a single card to a page in numbers you can read across a room. A caller’s sheet listing all seventy-five numbers to cross off comes with them.
- Nonogram. An empty picture-logic grid with the row and column numbers in bold black, plus the heavier lines every few squares that make a big grid easy to count.
There is a Daily Cat Sudoku as well, if you want everybody working on the same puzzle.
Kind to your printer
The sheets print black on white, with no shaded grids or heavy backgrounds to use up your ink. They print as well on a cheap black-and-white printer as on a colour one, and they photocopy cleanly if you need twenty copies for a group.
The one exception is Cat Sudoku, where the colours are the puzzle: its regions print as very pale tints, and each region is also outlined in heavy black so the sheet still works if you print it in black and white.
For activity organisers
If you run a coffee morning, a day centre or a care-home activity hour, this is a quick way to get a room’s worth of puzzles ready. Print a stack of Word Searches in a few minutes, or print the same Daily Sudoku for everyone so that the group is working on one shared puzzle. Print a hard one and an easy one and let people choose. There is no licence to worry about and nothing to pay.
If the group also sits down to card games or dice games, my other free site, Large Print Maker, prints large print score sheets for bridge, Yahtzee, Farkle and the rest, one game to a page, with the scoring worked out where the rules give a number.
