Thanksgiving Puzzles for Adults and Seniors: Word Search, Crosswords, Scrambles

Puzzles are a quiet way for grown-ups to share the holiday too. A word search on the coffee table, a crossword passed between generations, a scramble solved out loud after dinner. Our Thanksgiving puzzles come in two versions: a regular one for adults, and a large-print one with bigger letters and roomier grids for seniors.

Ideas for care homes and family visits

• Print the large-print pages on thicker paper so they are easier to hold.
• Pair a grandchild with a grandparent: one finds the words, the other circles them.

Questions parents and teachers ask

How big is the large print?

The large-print sets use much bigger letters and fewer words per grid than the adult versions, so they are comfortable to read without glasses for many people.

Are there answer keys?

Yes, every puzzle set has full answer keys.
