Keep words between 4 and 10 letters for the best balance of challenge and findability. Very short words (2–3 letters) appear accidentally in the filler letters and frustrate solvers. Very long words on a small grid may not place. For a classroom puzzle, 10–15 words on a 15×15 grid is the sweet spot.
Use the answer key toggle to check word placement before printing. Click any word in the list below the grid to highlight just that word — useful for checking or for hinting to a stuck student without revealing everything.
Type your words into the box (one per line), choose a grid size and word direction, then click Generate. Your puzzle is ready instantly — no account, no download needed. Click Print for a clean, printable version.

Words longer than the grid size can't be placed. On a 10×10 grid, words with more than 10 letters won't fit. Switch to a 15×15 or 20×20 grid, or shorten the word. Unplaced words are shown with a dashed border in the word list.
