WordSearch Puzzle Maker

Need a word search for spelling practice, a class theme, a baby shower or a rainy day? WordSearch turns your own word list into a printable puzzle with a matching answer key — right on your iPhone.

Type or paste your words, one per line, choose whether words can run diagonally or backwards, and tap Make Puzzle. You get a two-page PDF: the puzzle, then the answer key.

• YOUR WORDS, YOUR THEME — 2 to 40 words, 2 to 15 letters each. Add an optional title, or load sample words to try it out.
• DIAGONALS AND BACKWARDS — turn each on or off to make the puzzle easier for young kids or harder for older ones.
• GRID SIZED FOR YOU — the grid is sized automatically from 8×8 up to 22×22 to fit your list.
• WORD BANK INCLUDED — your words are printed in alphabetical order above the grid.
• ANSWER KEY — page 2 highlights the path of every word, so checking takes seconds.
• PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print straight from your iPhone, share the PDF, or save it to Files.

Honest scope: one puzzle per PDF on US Letter pages. Spaces, numbers and punctuation are dropped. Accented letters like É or Ñ are welcome — the filler letters are drawn from your words' own alphabet, so they don't give answers away. Tap New Layout for a fresh grid from the same word list.

Everything is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.
