How do you create custom Word Search Puzzles?

It’s easy! Just provide your word list and the Word Search Maker will create a puzzle for you.

• Enter your words into the text box provided. Make sure to add no more than 30 words.
• Select the theme or topics of your word search.
• Words should only include letters from a-z – uppercase or lowercase. You can use space and dash but these will be omitted while searching for your word search.
• Make sure not to use any personal information if you want your puzzles added to our database.
• When you are ready, click on “Regenerate” and the word search will be generated for you.
• If you want to download and print your word search puzzle, just click on “Download PDF.” The word search will be downloaded as a PDF file which you can then print.

NOTE: These are randomly generated words so be sure to proofread carefully before using. You can also regenerate the puzzle with new array of words.
