Free word search maker
Type your own words and get a word search to share with a link that opens the very same puzzle, print, or save as a PDF. It takes a few seconds, it's free, and there's nothing to sign up for.
Good to know
- Can I send it to someone?
- Yes. Once you've made one, the address of this page is that exact puzzle. Press "Share it" to copy the link, and whoever opens it gets the same word search to print.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Make and print as many as you like, for home or for a classroom. There's no account and no watermark across the puzzle.
- How many words can I have?
- As many as the grid is wide: 8 words in an 8 x 8, up to 14 in a 14 x 14. A word can be as long as one side of the grid.
- Can I use names and words with spaces?
- Yes. "Ice cream" is hidden as ICECREAM and listed as ICE CREAM, and accents are hidden as plain letters, so Zoë is found as ZOE.
- Where are the answers?
- Tick "Show the answers" under the puzzle to see every word highlighted. The answers aren't printed, so nobody can peek.
