Word search maker, printable in a minute.

Type your words and they are hidden in a grid of letters: across and down for little ones, diagonals for a challenge, backwards too for the hard level. Pick the grid size, add ten random words if you need more, see the answers highlighted, and save a printable PDF with the puzzle, the word list and an answer page. For classrooms, parties and rainy afternoons.

    The puzzle is made in your browser. Your words are never uploaded; they are kept in this browser for next time.
