Ideas for your own word search

Questions

Is it free? Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, as many puzzles as you like.

Is every word in there once? Yes. Each word is hidden exactly once, so there is never a second copy to argue about. If one word is part of another, like Ann and Anna, the maker asks you to drop one.

What size should I pick? "Fit the words" makes the grid just big enough. Bigger grids are harder; across and down only is easiest for children and for large print.

Want one ready-made? There is a new printable word search every day, and you can play online too.
