CURIFOLD PUZZLE STUDIO

Your words.
A little discovery.

Make an easy-to-read word search for a quiet afternoon, a book club or a shared activity.

No signup · Private in your browser · Yours to edit and print

Make it yours

4–14 different entries, 3–16 English letters each. Separate with commas or new lines. Spaces, hyphens and apostrophes are removed; duplicates are reported.

Your word list stays in this page. It is not sent to us or saved.

PRINT PREVIEW

Your next pencil break.

Choose a theme or enter your words, then create a puzzle.

Large print, without the guesswork

Each print sheet uses 18-point grid letters and 16-point word lists at 100% scale. Grids range from 12 × 12 to 16 × 16 to fit your longest word. Choose A4 or US Letter in both this tool and your print dialog, print at 100%, and switch off browser headers and footers. A screen preview is scaled to fit your device; it is not a physical-size measurement.

No backward words when you choose Easy

Easy places answers left to right, top to bottom and diagonally down-right. Standard includes reverse directions. The answer sheet highlights every placed word. If your list cannot fit, you will see an error rather than a puzzle with missing words.

A puzzle to share

You may print and distribute these generated puzzles for personal, classroom, book-club and community-group activities. Use word lists you have the right to use. These original theme lists are separate from the books’ puzzle interiors. SVG downloads are scalable image files; Print / save PDF uses your browser’s printer dialog.

For a complete nature-themed collection, explore Birdsong & Quiet Places, or take a voyage with Sea Days. You can also play our daily word search.

A useful guide to go with your tool.
