Search Maker
Create your own custom word search worksheets! A variety of options
are available including font size, font style, lowercase or uppercase
letters, grid shape, word placement, and more.
Experiment with the settings below to find the best results for
printing. You may also need to adjust your browser’s page setup (change
margins, header/footer, or switch to landscape/portrait mode), then
go to ‘Print Preview’ before printing. These options are under your
browser’s File menu. Landscape mode works best for many puzzles.
Also, set your margins to 0.5″ or less.
Before you create your puzzle, you might also
want to highlight your word list and press Ctrl+C to keep a copy
of it on your computer’s clipboard. That way, if you need to come
back and change settings, you can paste the words into the blank
by pressing Ctrl+V. Otherwise you’ll have to re-type them.
(These
shortcut
commands work on Windows systems.)
PLEASE NOTE: If you are concerned about inappropriate words in the randomized letters, be sure to proofread before handing out to students.
Build word familiarity through a puzzle format
Word searches are more useful than for a simple diversion. They are very useful for helping students commit to memory vocabulary words, place names, historical figures and other theme-based topics. This worksheet lets you specify which words you want to use, then gives you a professional looking word search puzzle.
Some tips for a quality puzzle: Try to use a word list of between 20 and 40 words. Very few or very many words usually results in an awkward-looking puzzle. Avoid using phrases since they simply get mushed into one long word in the puzzle grid. Also avoid using words that require numbers or special punctuation, as only the letters from those words will appear in the puzzle (even though the non-alphabetic characters will still appear in the word list).

Free word search maker with images or text hints
from Tools for Educators: These worksheet makers are light, easy to use, but very powerful. Make work searches for kids, elementary school, phonics programs, language classes and more.
You can use text for your puzzle hint: find the same word, unscramble the word and find it, read a clue for the puzzle word, or use your own ideas. It’s up to you.
word search maker: text only
You can use images as the puzzle hints: choose an image category below and type the word you want entered into the puzzle. The maker will generate a puzzle with your image choices below.
— if you want to make a word search with clues, use the text only generator above. There is an option to include free text instead of the puzzle word as a hint!
— if you want a crossword and word search together on the same page, use the crossword maker.
You can use up to 16 images for your word search with images. You can use less by just using 8, 12 or any lower number. The maker will generate a puzzle based on what you enter.
These word search makers are free word searches to print that you can use online to make personalized word searches with images as hints. You can select the image you want to use and type in any text for that picture you’d like. So, you can choose from 1,000s of images to create the perfect word search for school, home use, parties, waiting rooms, anything.
These can handle some foreign languages as well. So, I hope French, LOTE, Spanish teachers and more can use the word search creator for their classes as well.
