    Create word searches to learn, play and print

    This generator builds a free themed puzzle that you can solve with a mouse, finger or stylus. Advanced options add medium and hard levels, multilingual translations, custom words and print-ready exports.

    Make a puzzle with your own words

    Custom mode is ideal for birthdays, weddings, classroom activities, names, places and school vocabulary. Spaces, apostrophes and hyphens are removed only inside the grid while correct spelling remains visible in the list.

    Learn French, Spanish or Portuguese

    Learning mode places the French word with one or more translations. The algorithm favors crossings within each group and keeps translations close when no shared letter allows a clean crossing.

    Three levels for children and adults

    Easy uses horizontal and vertical words. Medium adds diagonals and more crossings. Hard uses all eight directions with more challenging filler letters.

    Download as PNG or PDF

    The free PNG saves a simple puzzle. Advanced access creates a high-resolution PNG and a sharp A4 PDF, either puzzle-only or with an answer key on a second page.
