Design your own word search

Need a word search for school or your next birthday party?

With the help of the word search editor, you can quickly and easily create printable PDF files to share.

The generated word searches come with one page for the puzzle and one for the solution.

What is a word search?

A word search is a puzzle where you have to find hidden words in a grid filled with letters.

The words to find are hidden in a jumble of letters. They can be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

You play by trying to find the hidden words or terms. Click the first and then the last letter. If your selection is correct, the word will be highlighted in color.

Once all the hidden words are found, the word search is solved.

Each word search has a leaderboard showing the best times.

And if you just can't find a word, there's the hint button. It shows you the first letter.

Word search sizes

To make sure there's something for everyone, the word searches are divided by size.

Depending on the size, you'll need a little—or a lot—of patience.

Word search to print

Some word searches are also available as printable versions.

Perfect to take along on train or car trips – or if you just prefer solving puzzles on paper instead of on a screen.
