How to use the word searches maker

- Download the PDF in the paper size used by your printer. Keep the answer key separate from the puzzle.
All generation happens in your browser using deterministic algorithms. We do not upload your word lists. Each submitted word must fit successfully before the printable is produced. Accents are simplified, and spaces and punctuation are removed.
For the clearest results, use actual-size printing and select the paper size that matches your PDF. Read the printing guide for classroom batches and common printer settings.
