PuzzleCraft is a free word search maker for classrooms, care homes, parties and anyone who enjoys a good letter hunt. Every puzzle is built fresh from your topic or word list, so no two are alike.
How it works: type a topic into the box above, or paste a spelling list, and PuzzleCraft builds a word list for you. Choose a 10×10, 15×15 or 20×20 grid and a difficulty. Easy hides words across and down only, Medium adds diagonals, and Hard also runs words backwards, so the same list can suit a five-year-old or a puzzle fan.
Play online by clicking and dragging across the letters, with found words crossed off the list as you go and a timer to beat, or print a clean sheet with the word bank underneath plus a separate answer key with every word circled. You can save any sheet as a PDF from the print window and send a share link so friends, students or family can play the very same grid.
Because the grid is generated from a seed, the share link always rebuilds the identical puzzle, which makes it easy to run a class race or a family challenge.
