Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my words don’t fit in the grid?▶
If a word list is too large or includes long words, the puzzle may adjust automatically. You can increase the grid size, remove words, or regenerate the layout.
Why does the word search layout change when I regenerate it?▶
Regenerating a puzzle creates a new layout using the same word list, giving you a different arrangement without changing the content.
Can I edit an existing word search instead of starting from scratch?▶
Yes. Any word search can be opened in the editor and adjusted, so you can build on an existing puzzle instead of creating a new one.
Do I need to finish editing before downloading the PDF?▶
No. You can download or print a word search at any time, whether you have customized it or kept the original layout.
Can I customize a word search before printing it?▶
Yes. You can edit the word list, title, grid size, shape, difficulty, and visual styling in the editor before printing or downloading the puzzle.
