Free printable word search maker

Type your words, pick a shape, and print. Every puzzle comes with an answer key. No account needed.

Shape
Size

15, 20 or 25 letters along the shape's longer side. Detailed shapes (stars, suns, trees) look best medium or large.

Difficulty

Choose the directions yourself
Printout

The letters that fill the rest of the shape are random: look the puzzle over before you hand it out, and make a new one if you don't like it. Want students to solve it on a screen? Create a free account to make online word searches.
