Is the Word Search Generator free?

Yes. Building and previewing puzzles is completely free. Premium plans unlock unlimited printing and saved puzzles.

How many words can I add?

You can add as many words as fit your grid. For a 12×12 grid, 8–15 words usually works best for legibility.

Can I print the puzzle?

Yes. Click Print to get a clean, classroom-ready printable sheet with the puzzle and word list.

What grid sizes are supported?

Grids from 10×10 to 20×20 are supported. Larger grids fit more and longer words.

Why didn't all my words fit?

If a word is too long for the grid or can't be placed without overlapping awkwardly, the tool skips it. Try a larger grid or a higher difficulty.
