Word Search Quest Puzzles is a good free choice for seniors who dislike clocks and level pressure. Blackout Lab offers two ways to play: a Quest mode with thousands of levels of increasing difficulty, and a Relax mode where you find hidden words at your own pace and pick your own difficulty from an infinite number of grids. The developer lists no timer and no pressure among its features, along with offline play, 20 themes such as Animals, Countries and Foods, and 10 languages with more than 3,000 words each. The app has a 4.8 average from 91K ratings and lists no in-app purchases, so it is free apart from the ads. Blackout Lab does not publish a large-print or text-size option, which keeps it below the apps that do. A tablet will give the grid more room. We compared documented features and published prices.
