Word Find Fun is a small, plain word search app that happens to list more readability features than most big-name games. Boy Howdy Technology describes a low-eyestrain color scheme, an easy-to-read letter grid, a different board color each level and a large print format when played on an iPad. There is no timer, so every puzzle runs at your own pace. Puzzles are generated without end from a word list of more than 29,000 words, which the developer says has been run through several profanity filters, and boards are scanned so stray letters do not spell anything rude. You can tap a word to look up its definition, select words in any direction, and start a new board at any time, like turning the page in a puzzle book. Progress saves on its own. The app is free with ads and lists no in-app purchases, so there is no way to pay for an ad-free version. Large print is documented for iPad, so it is best on a tablet. We compared documented features and published prices.
