Frequently Asked Questions

What is a word search?

A word search is a puzzle where there are rows of letters placed in the shape of a square, and there are words written forwards, backwards, horizontal, vertical or diagonal. There will be a list of words for the player to look for and the goal of the player is to find those words hidden in the word search puzzle, and highlight them.

How do I choose the words to use in my word search?

Once you’ve picked a theme, choose words that have a variety of different lengths, difficulty levels and letters. You don’t need to worry about trying to fit the words together with each other because WordMint will do that for you!

How are word searches used in the classroom?

Word search games are an excellent tool for teachers, and an excellent resource for students. They help to encourage wider vocabulary, as well as testing cognitive abilities and pattern-finding skills.

Because the word search templates are completely custom, you can create suitable word searches for children in kindergarten, all the way up to college students.

Who is a word search suitable for?

One of the common word search faq’s is whether there is an age limit or what age kids can start doing word searches. The fantastic thing about word search exercises is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need.

Word searches can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.

This list represents a list of words that are used when discussing the variety of focus and subject matter in wellness/physical education classes.  They are leveled in terms of educational grade level.  Level 4 would be an 8thh grade level and into high school.  Level 3 would be a mix of 7th and 8th grade classes with a few maybe used at the 6th grade level. Levels 1 and 2 would be primarily for the 6th grade classes.  In the near future there will be some required class work that will have students visiting this page and choosing 2-3 words from the list and researching the definition, examples of what the word means, application and  understanding of the word/term.  Some of the words and/or terms could also serve as a spring board for some extra credit projects that are in the development stages right now.
