How to use Word Search Generator
Type your words, choose the grid size and directions, then print. Press “New puzzle” for another layout.
How it works
Longer words are placed first in random positions and directions, sharing letters where they match; empty cells are filled with random letters (from your own words for non-Latin scripts).
Example
Twelve animal names fit in a 14 × 14 grid with horizontal, vertical and diagonal words; the answer page highlights them.
