Your words.
A puzzle to share.
Turn a spelling list, seasonal theme or set of interests into a printable word search. Every puzzle comes with a separate answer page.
Choose a puzzle that fits the reader
Easy mode places words from left to right or top to bottom. All-directions mode also uses diagonal and backwards words. A larger grid provides more room for longer lists, with smaller letters on the same page.
Enter 5–20 English words. Spaces are removed, so ICE CREAM becomes ICECREAM. Each word needs at least three letters. The small grid accepts up to 12 letters per word; the other grids accept up to 14. Duplicate words, words contained within another entry, and palindromes are rejected so the answer page stays unambiguous.
Use the answer page separately
The first PDF page is the puzzle and word list; the second highlights every answer on the same grid. The generator checks that every listed word appears exactly once across the eight straight-line directions. Print only page 1 for learners, or keep page 2 for checking. Unlisted incidental letter sequences are not screened; review the puzzle before sharing with children.
