The free printable pack
Six pages, ready to print: a Thanksgiving word search and a crossword, then both again in large print, with the answers to every puzzle on the last page. US Letter paper; it prints fine on A4 too (choose Fit to page).
Puzzles for the family table
The pack works best printed one copy per person. Hand them round while the turkey rests and see who finds all the words first, or read the crossword clues out loud and let the whole table shout answers. The large-print pages suit anyone who has left their reading glasses at home, and younger children can circle words in the large-print word search while the grown-ups do the crossword.
If the family is spread over several homes this year, everyone can play the same word search on the day, each on their own device. For the cousins who would rather play each other, Four in a Row and Doodle Guess work by invite link, with no accounts.
For a care home or activity group
Print as many copies as your group needs: the pack is free to copy for a care home, a library, a day center, a school or a club. The large-print word search has 10 words in big letters on a 10 by 10 grid, and the large-print crossword puts the grid on one page and the clues on the next, so nobody has to squint at small type. The answers are on the last page, so a helper can check without spoiling it for everyone else.
For a group crossword, put one large-print grid on a table or a wall and read the clues aloud: most are short, plain definitions, and nobody needs to know any crossword tricks. On a tablet, the large-print word search and the large-print crossword are free every day too.
About these puzzles
We chose every word and wrote every clue ourselves, and checked them by hand. There are no brand names, and no words that are spelled differently in the US and the UK, so the same puzzle is fair on both sides of the Atlantic. The pack's crossword is its own puzzle, not the one for Thanksgiving week on the site, so doing one never spoils the other.
