Word Sprouts is a word search game made for young readers in Pre-K through 2nd grade. Every word is read aloud, so even kids who are just learning their letters can play. HEAR EVERY WORD Tap the speaker next to any word and Word Sprouts says it out loud. Kids listen, look for the letters, and find the word in the grid. FOUR GRADES, 60+ PUZZLES Puzzles are grouped by grade, from three-letter words in Pre-K to longer words and diagonal hunts in 2nd grade. Themes include animals, food, space, colors, shapes and sight words. EASY, MEDIUM OR TRICKY Each puzzle has three skill levels. Higher levels use bigger grids and more word directions, so the same puzzle grows with your child. BUILT FOR LITTLE HANDS Big letter tiles, a simple tap on the first and last letter (or drag across the word), and no timers or scores to lose. A one-tap switch shows lowercase letters for early readers. If a word is hard to spot, a gentle Hint button lights up its first letter. READING-FRIENDLY OPTIONS Choose a dyslexia-friendly letter style, and turn off backwards or diagonal words until your reader is ready for them. YOUR SPELLING LIST, AS A PUZZLE Grown-ups can type in this week's spelling or sight words, or upload a .txt list, and Word Sprouts turns them into a word search in seconds. Share your list with another family or a whole classroom by link or QR code. Shared lists are free to play. PRINT AND PLAY Print any puzzle as a black-and-white worksheet with the word list beside the grid and an optional answer key. Perfect for homework, classrooms and car rides. SEE THEIR PROGRESS A grown-up progress view shows puzzles finished this week, sight words found, and progress by grade and for each puzzle you've made. SAFE FOR KIDS - No ads - No accounts or sign-in - No tracking and no data collected - Works offline - Purchases, settings, printing and sharing sit behind a parental gate FREE TO TRY, PAY ONCE Play 3 free puzzles in every grade at every skill level. A single one-time purchase unlocks every puzzle and the puzzle maker. No subscriptions. Questions or ideas? Visit https://wordsproutsadventure.com/support
