How to use this tool

Place your words in a printable grid with diagonal and backwards options plus an answer key.

  1. Enter 1–30 unique words of 2–25 letters A–Z. Spaces are removed.
  2. Choose grid size and direction options, then generate. Any words not placed are listed explicitly.
  3. Print the puzzle, toggle answers or export the grid and exact word paths.

About the results

The generator uses a bounded randomized layout, not an exhaustive packing solver. Larger words or dense lists may not all fit; regenerate or enlarge the grid. Filler letters can create incidental word occurrences.
