Whirlwind WordSearch Lite is a powerful and easy-to-use word search puzzle maker. It creates uniquely engaging word search puzzles from your own lists of words... in many different languages! You will be building and printing professional-looking puzzles right away. This "Lite" version has many of the features of the "Full" version, letting you build and print quite a range of puzzles. And you can get the full version when you are ready to access all the powerful features.

You can choose from different built-in puzzle shapes, and the puzzles can range in sizes from 9x9 to 18x18 letters (4x4 up to 50x50 in the full version.)

Make your puzzles stand out by choosing your own fonts and colors for the title, letters and grids.

It is not just a pretty puzzle though, underneath is a powerful puzzle-generator. Quickly change the "Difficulty to Solve" setting to create easy, difficult, or diabolical puzzles.

Any randomly-created "naughty words" are detected and removed (in all supported languages), offering classroom-safe puzzles.
