Word search generator
Make a word-search grid from your words, with the answer key. Every word appears exactly once, also after the random fill.
Details
Words run in 8 directions (or only right, down and diagonal with "backwards": false). Filler letters follow the letter frequency of the language.
Limits: 3 to 40 words, 3 to 20 letters each, grid 8 to 25. Spaces and hyphens are removed; ß becomes SS.
Price: CHF 0.002 per call (first 100 calls per day free).
Example: {"words":["apple","pear","plum"],"size":8,"language":"en","seed":3} → {"grid":["EFHHMAOR",…],"answers":[{"word":"APPLE","start":[6,3],"direction":"up"},…]}.
