Make Your Own Word Search

Something like this:

Making a word search is easy with our word search maker:

1. Choose your styles. Pick a puzzle shape, size, word directions, and font from the Customize panel. You can change these later if you change your mind.
2. Add your words. They will be hidden in your grid automatically.
3. Publish and print. Click the blue "Choose Plan" button to preview and publish your word search. Print it or download a PDF — it's ready to use right away.

My Word Search is the best word search maker online. Here's what makes it different:

• No ads, ever. Your focus should be on creating, not clicking away ads.
• Fun shapes and customization. Choose from tons of puzzle shapes — hearts, stars, flowers, and more. Customize fonts, sizes, and letter spacing.
• Custom difficulty. Control puzzle size and word directions to make word searches as easy or as challenging as you want.
• Saves automatically, accessible anywhere. Your word searches save to the cloud as you build them, so you can pick up from any computer.
• Privacy controls. Keep your word search private or share it only with specific solvers using a password.
• Clue mode. Challenge your solvers: click a word in your word list to replace it with a clue.
• Multiple languages. Create word searches in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian.
• Online solving and auto-grading. Share a link and let students solve and submit online — answers are graded automatically.
• Real human support. If anything goes wrong, you'll hear from a real person (which we can afford because it rarely does).

Teachers use our word search maker for vocabulary review, early finisher activities, sub plans, and themed classroom fun across every subject — from science and social studies to foreign languages and ELA. Word searches are also popular for parties, events, and just-for-fun puzzles.
