Word Search Maker - Form

Generate your own custom word search!

You can choose to enter your own words in the form below, or choose from one of our premade word search lists.

Word Search Maker - Form IMPORTANT:

  • Spaces in words count as 2 separate words, and will be hidden separately. So make sure to combine them into one word. For example: enter CandyCanes (instead of Candy Canes), enter StPatricksDay (instead St Patricks Day).
    • NOTE: You can now hide "CandyCanes", then show "Candy Canes" by editing the word in the Fun Options below.
  • One list of words can make hundreds of different puzzles! Change word orientation (diagonal, backwords) and placement of word list on word search.
  • Be sure to tell your friends!

Also be sure to try our Fun Options! They add options to your word search that can make it much more exciting - like unscrambling your word list before searching for the words in the puzzle. Just check them out for more fun options.
