Make the puzzle fit the learner

For an easier search

  • Use 8 to 12 short, familiar words.
  • Choose the 12 by 12 grid so the letters are larger.
  • Read the word list together before the search starts.

For a useful review activity

  • Pair each found word with a definition or an example.
  • Ask learners to sort the word list into categories.
  • Keep the answer key with the adult, not on the handout.

Check the printing guide or find another paper activity.

Questions about this maker

Do I need an account to make a game?

No. Open the maker and edit its example. Changes stay in your browser; a share link carries the game settings in the link itself.

Can I save the game for later?

Choose Save on this device for a browser-local draft, or copy a share link. Clearing your browser storage removes local drafts, so keep the link if you need another copy.

Does printing include the answers?

The quiz board and trivia maker include their host answers. Word searches print a separate answer key. Bingo includes a call list when that option is selected.
