About Word Search Maker

Turn your own English word list into a printable puzzle. Create an English A–Z word search with chosen directions and difficulty. Check placed words, keep answers separate, and download a printable puzzle and answer key locally. The core workflow is designed to run in your current browser.

Create a printable word search without losing unplaced words

  1. Enter 1–50 English words. Spaces, apostrophes and hyphens are removed; inspect the normalized word list.
  2. Choose grid dimensions and directions, generate, and check whether every word was placed. Increase the grid or allow more directions if needed.
  3. Choose the paper and optional large-print mode. Download the puzzle and a separate answer page, or reveal answers on screen.

An easy forward-only puzzle

Enter PLANET, COMET and ORBIT in a 12×12 grid with horizontal and vertical directions only. The answer page shows the recorded placements and CSV lists one-based start and end coordinates.

English A–Z only; no accented letters or non-Latin words. Grid sizes are 6–30 per side. Placement uses bounded randomized attempts, not a proof that an arrangement is impossible. Exports are blocked if words remain unplaced or the selected paper cannot fit legible text.
