Who makes the puzzles

The site is built by Brian Hamilton, a puzzle site creator and web developer with 30 years of development experience. Karan Hamilton helps shape puzzle ideas, wording, testing, and the player experience across the puzzle network.

What makes us different

Every grid on the site is generated automatically, which means an endless supply of fresh puzzles on hundreds of subjects: animals, TV shows, movies, sports, food, holidays, science, geography, music, and more. Hit "New puzzle" and you get a different grid.

We also do things most word search sites do not: original write-ups on every topic, difficulty modes from easy to fiendish, and powerful printing. You can download a whole booklet of puzzles at once, with answer keys, ready for the classroom, the car, or a rainy afternoon.

Publishing standards

We aim for clear rules, fair puzzle generation, family-friendly topics, useful printing options, and pages that work naturally on phones, tablets, and desktops. For a behind-the-scenes look at exactly how each grid is built, checked, and rated for difficulty, see how we make our word searches. Our wider publishing standards are available on the Hamilton Digital Media site: Publishing standards .

Corrections and feedback

Spotted a mistake, found a word list that needs improvement, or have a topic request? Please tell us through the contact page. We are a small team, but we read every message and use corrections to improve the puzzle library.

Free, and staying that way

Playing and printing puzzles is completely free. The site is supported by advertising so we can keep the puzzles flowing, but the puzzles themselves will stay free to play and print.
