Printing tips

  • Choose “Actual size” (100%) in your print dialog — “Fit to page” shrinks the 28pt letters.
  • Plain black text on white keeps ink use low; even draft mode prints crisp grids.
  • One layout serves both Letter and A4 — no cropping on either paper.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How big are the letters in these animal puzzles?
Grid letters print at 28 points in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface built for readability — roughly twice the height of ordinary puzzle-book type. The footer of every page states the point size.
May I make copies of the animal set for my classroom?
Yes — print or photocopy as many as you need for a class, activity group, or care facility. The only restriction is resale: the puzzles are free for personal and group use, not for commercial redistribution.
Where are the answers for each grid?
Each two-page puzzle PDF puts the answer key on its second page, with the found words marked by capsule outlines on the grid. In the 10-puzzle pack, all the keys sit together at the back.
How hard are the animal word searches?
They use the standard adult setting: words run in all 8 directions and roughly a third are placed backwards. The large type changes readability, not difficulty.
