WordSearch Puzzle Maker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Need a word search for spelling practice, a class theme, a baby shower or a rainy day? WordSearch turns your own word list into a printable puzzle with a matching answer key — right on your iPhone. Type or paste your words, one per line, choose whether words can run diagonally or backwards, and tap Make Puzzle. You get a two-page PDF: the puzzle, then the answer key. • YOUR WORDS, YOUR THEME — 2 to 40 words, 2 to 15 letters each. Add an optional title, or load sample words to try it out. • DIAGONALS AND BACKWARDS — turn each on or off to make the puzzle easier for young kids or harder for older ones. • GRID SIZED FOR YOU — the grid is sized automatically from 8×8 up to 22×22 to fit your list. • WORD BANK INCLUDED — your words are printed in alphabetical order above the grid. • ANSWER KEY — page 2 highlights the path of every word, so checking takes seconds. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print straight from your iPhone, share the PDF, or save it to Files. Honest scope: one puzzle per PDF on US Letter pages. Spaces, numbers and punctuation are dropped. Accented letters like É or Ñ are welcome — the filler letters are drawn from your words' own alphabet, so they don't give answers away. Tap New Layout for a fresh grid from the same word list. Everything is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 puzzles. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited puzzles. No subscription, no ads.
