Word Search Maker 4+

Needed an easy-to-use word-search maker for classroom mini lessons. This creates elegant, ad-free puzzles. I like that I can use multi-word phrases simply by putting quotation marks around the cluster words. If you don’t like the layout of how the words are hidden once the puzzle is generated, you just touch the shuffle button until you’re happy.

I wanted an option to increase the font size for large-print puzzles for people who need large print, so I wrote to the developer. I received a very polite email response immediately, asking for more info. I understand they are working on an update now.

I haven’t seen a way to print the answer key, but that isn’t a high priority for me.

I got this app to keep in touch with friends and family far away by sharing memories that connect us via words & places we’ve been together!

This app appears to be unusable. I have tried every way I can think of to add words to create a puzzle. The word box won’t allow me to type any words into it. When I click on it it does not give me any options to paste any words even though I have copied them over and over from lists I have. The only option it gives me when I click the box is to copy, Select, select all, but no option to paste. I have also tried importing from my files and every time I import a bunch of chaotic letters and symbols show up in the word box, but none of the words that I need to show up. I was hopeful that this would be a helpful app for education but so far it has proven to be entirely useless. I am hoping that maybe the developers will chime in and tell me they have a bug or something that needs to be fixed.
