How to print a word search
Choose a category and difficulty, press New puzzle until you like the grid, then press the Print button. Your browser prints a clean page with the letter grid and the list of words to find — menus, timers and ads are left off the page.
Because every puzzle is generated on the spot, you can print as many different sheets as you need. Make a stack for the classroom, a themed Halloween or Christmas sheet for a party, or an Easy puzzle for younger children.
Printing tips
For the best result use A4 or US Letter in portrait, scale 100%, and turn off headers and footers in your browser print dialog. Choose Hard for adults, Easy for kids and Medium for family sheets. To save paper, print two-up or save the page as a PDF.
