From a small idea to a printed page
Choose a word list
Start with a theme: garden plants, space, a reading list or names for a gathering. Use English letters without spaces or punctuation. The tool tells you when a word is too long, repeated or cannot fit.
Set the challenge
A smaller grid is quicker to scan. Forward directions use right, down and diagonal-down placements. All directions also allows reversed words. These settings change the puzzle; they are not a certified age or reading-level assessment.
