What is a Word Search game?

A Word Search is a classic puzzle game where players must find hidden words inside a grid of letters.
Words can appear horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and sometimes in reverse order.
The goal is to carefully scan the grid and locate all the listed words by spotting letter sequences in any allowed direction.
Word Search games are popular for education, vocabulary practice, and fun activities for all ages.

What is our Word Search Generator?

Our Word Search Generator lets you easily create custom word search puzzles ready to print. You can generate puzzles using your own list of words or automatically select words from built-in dictionaries.

When using dictionaries, you can fully control the generation by choosing:

No matter how words are selected, you can also customize the puzzle layout by choosing:
