Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this word search hard?
Twenty words in a 20 × 20 grid, hidden in all eight directions, including backwards and diagonally upward.
Can I make a word search with my spelling words?
Yes. Type or paste your list into the words box, one word per line, and the puzzle updates as you type.
Do word searches come with answers?
Yes. Leave "Add an answer key page" switched on and a second page prints with every word highlighted.
Why didn't all my words fit?
A crowded grid sometimes has no room left for the last few words. Make the grid one or two sizes bigger, take out a word or two, or press Shuffle to try a different arrangement.
Can words have spaces, like "ice cream"?
Yes. Spaces and punctuation are dropped in the grid, so "ice cream" is hidden as ICECREAM, but the word list shows it the way you typed it.
