Whirlwind WordSearch is a powerful and easy-to-use word search puzzle maker. It creates engaging word search puzzles from your own lists of words... in many different shapes, sizes and languages! You will be building and printing professional-looking puzzles right away.

There are many built-in puzzle shapes to choose from, and the puzzles can range in size from as small as 4 letters across and down, up to 50 by 50 letters.

Make your puzzles stand out by choosing your own font and colors for the letters and grids.

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

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

You can export high-quality images of the puzzle and answer into your own word processor for re-printing in books, newsletters, social media/blogs, or classroom handouts, copyright free.

All of this for one price... no monthly fees, no extra upgrade costs. Ever.
