Frequently asked questions

How do I make a word search?

Type your words, one per line or separated by commas, and give it a title. The puzzle is made as you type: the words are hidden in a grid of letters, with the list to find underneath. Print it, or download a PDF.

Can I make it harder?

Yes. Easy hides words left to right and top to bottom only. Medium adds diagonals. Hard also hides words backwards and upside down. A bigger grid makes any level harder too.

Is there an answer key?

Yes, on the next page, with every word circled. Untick it if you don't want it.

Can I make a different puzzle with the same words?

Press New puzzle. Each puzzle has a number: the same words, settings and number always make the same puzzle, so you can make it again later.
