About the Word Search Generator
Word search puzzles hide words in a grid of letters — the words can be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally depending on the difficulty setting. This generator places the longest words first to minimise placement failures, then fills the remaining cells with random letters. Choose a larger grid or fewer directions for easier puzzles; smaller grids with all 8 directions are more challenging. The puzzle is generated entirely in your browser.
Private & free — this tool runs entirely in your browser.
