A Note about Jumbo Puzzles

If you are interested in finding printable jumbo word puzzles because they are easier to see than the small print puzzles, you have more options than you might at first realize. With your computer, you can take any puzzle and make it a jumbo puzzle by changing the size of the font or printing the puzzle at an increased size.

If the puzzle can be opened in a Word document, you can always "select all" and increase the size of the font to make your puzzle bigger. Additionally, you can usually increase the size of the document when you are printing it as well. Try printing the document at 150 or 200 percent of its original size if you are having difficulty seeing it.
