Film and cinema word search

Twenty words from the silver screen, from the director and the premiere to the trailer before the main feature, hidden in a fourteen by fourteen grid. Print it for a film night at home or the wait before the lights go down.

About this word search

Cinema has its own vocabulary, and most film fans use it without thinking. A Cameo is a brief appearance by a well-known person, and the Usher once walked the aisles with a flashlight to seat latecomers. The Oscar statuette's nickname has several competing origin stories, and none has been confirmed.

The grid takes words across, down and at an angle, with none flipped around. Subtitles and Premiere are among the longest, and Actor and Actress share a beginning, so check both before circling.

Print a few copies for a movie club and see who finishes before the opening credits roll.

Ways to use this word search

  • With your coffee

    Print a sheet for a quiet moment at the kitchen table or in your armchair. Start with the regular version and save the hard one for when you really have time for it.

  • On the go

    Slip a few printed sheets into your bag for the train, a waiting room or a weekend away. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Puzzle together

    Bring the sheet to your book club, a night in with friends or a visit to your parents and see who finds every word first. Or play online and find out who is fastest.
