The grid builds as you watch

Words go across, down, diagonally and backwards, as hard as the level asks. Resize from 8×8 to 20×20 and it re-solves. A fit check warns you before a word has nowhere to go.

WHAT THE AI GIVES YOU

A word search for your class, not for the internet.

Clues, not just a word bankHide the list and give clues instead, so the puzzle tests what the words mean, not just the spelling.
Directions you controlLeft to right for the youngest. Diagonals and backwards words for a class that finds that too easy.
Reroll one word, not the setIf the AI picks a word you would not teach, swap that one instead of generating again.

Word search maker questions

Is this word search maker free?

Making, editing and printing are free, with or without an account. Your own words cost nothing. The only thing counted is asking the AI to write a set for you.

Can I make a word search from my own word list?

Yes. Paste or type the words and the grid builds as you go, no AI and no account needed. Or start from your list and ask the AI for the clues.

What size grid can the AI fill?

Anything from 8×8 to 20×20. The level sets a sensible default, and a fit check tells you when a long word has nowhere to sit.

Does the printable include an answer key?

Yes, on page two, with every hidden word highlighted. A free account also adds your school header and logo.
