How to use these puzzles

For a greater challenge, choose a 18×18 or 20×20 grid and include longer words. Words can run backward and diagonally. The generator does not currently offer a strict difficulty guarantee, so adjust the words and grid until the challenge feels right.

Try this activity

Try a timed round, then create a new puzzle with the same word list. Because letter placement is randomized, the new grid will be different.

Are these puzzles free?

Yes. No signup is required to generate or print these puzzles. Use the Print puzzle and Print answer key buttons on any puzzle page.

Can I change the puzzle difficulty?

You can change the grid size and edit the word list. Longer word lists and larger grids can be more challenging, but difficulty varies by puzzle.
