Nostalgic Word Search for Adults and Seniors

The good old days, printed in letters you can actually see.

One hundred word search puzzles built from the everyday life of an earlier America: the soda fountain, the milkman, penny candy, party line telephones, sock hops, drive-in movies, hayrides, church suppers and the Christmas catalog.

Every puzzle sits alone on its own full 8.5 by 11 inch page, with grid letters set at 23 point and word lists at 16 point. Most large print puzzle books print two puzzles to a page on a small 6 by 9 sheet. This one does the opposite.

What is inside

• 100 puzzles, one per full-size page. Never two to a page.
• 100 different subjects from mid-century life. The Five and Dime, Saturday Matinee, Clothesline Days, Sandlot Baseball, The Roller Rink, Transistor Radio, TV Dinners, The Filling Station, The County Fair and ninety-one more.
• Forward words only. Left to right, top to bottom, and diagonally up or down to the right. No word is printed backwards, which keeps the search enjoyable instead of frustrating.
• Eighteen words per puzzle, always alphabetized. Every list is printed in order so you never lose your place.
• Complete answer keys. Full grids with every word circled, four to a page and labelled by puzzle number.
• Generous margins. Printed on white paper with room to rest your hand.

A conversation starter as much as a puzzle book

The subjects were chosen because they tend to bring something back: a shop, a sound, a Saturday. It works well as a gift for a parent or grandparent, and it travels easily to a waiting room, a hospital stay or an assisted living apartment.

Every puzzle and every answer key was checked against its own grid before printing. No duplicate puzzles, no missing words, no unsolvable pages.
