Word Search
Worksheets

Create your own custom word search worksheets! A variety of
options are available including font size, font style,
lowercase or uppercase letters, grid shape, word placement,
and more.

Experiment with the settings below to find the best results
for printing. You may also need to adjust your browser's page
setup (change margins, header/footer, or switch to
landscape/portrait mode), then go to 'Print Preview' before
printing. These options are under your browser's File menu.
Landscape mode works best for many puzzles. Also, set your
margins to 0.5" or less.

Before you create your puzzle, you might also want to
highlight your word list and press Ctrl+C to keep a copy of it
on your computer's clipboard. That way, if you need to come
back and change settings, you can paste the words into the
blank by pressing Ctrl+V. Otherwise you'll have to re-type
them. (These shortcut commands work on Windows systems.)

PLEASE NOTE: You should always proofread word searches like
this before giving to students in case inappropriate words end
up in the randomized letters.
