One custom word search for screen or paper

Build a custom puzzle from a title and your word list. Word Search Generator can choose an automatic grid size, or you can set a square grid from 10x10 to 25x25.

Play the same saved word search online from its shareable URL, or switch to print mode for a printable worksheet and a separate answer-key PDF.

Unlisted by default, public when you choose

Puzzles are unlisted unless their creator chooses to make them public. Unlisted puzzles still open for anyone with the share link. Public puzzles can be searched and browsed by other visitors.
