Sight Words Word Search

About this worksheet

First-grade sight words on a small grid with words running only across and down — no diagonals, no reversals. The point is recognition practice, not a hunting challenge, so keep it on the easy setting for emergent readers.

How to use it

• Print it as it is. Page one is the puzzle, page two is the answer key. Sized for US Letter at full print resolution.
• Swap in your own words. Open the maker, paste this week's spelling list, and the grid rebuilds in a second.
• Change the difficulty. Easy hides words across and down only. Hard adds diagonals and backwards words for stronger readers.
