Frequently asked questions
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about creating word search puzzles
What size of word search puzzle grid can I create?
The Fixed grid size option allows you to create word search puzzles ranging from 11x11 to 25x25. The Auto size option will create the grid based on the length and number of words in your puzzle, so you can create puzzles of smaller sizes too, but for ideal game experience we strongly recommend to keep the grid size at or below 15x15.
How many words can I use in a puzzle?
The number of words you can use is limited by the size of your puzzle grid. If you use the "Auto size" option while creating the puzzle, PuzzleMe™ will automatically find the right grid size for your list of words.
Can you provide word search puzzles?
If you are using our Enterprise plan, we can provide you with word search puzzle content. Please contact us for more details.
Can I use a specific layout/distribution of letters inside the grid?
If you are using our creator form, it is not possible to guarantee a specific layout/distribution of letters inside the grid. If you are uploading a puzzle file, you can edit the grid layout offline, and the imported puzzle will use the same layout.
Can I use images, video or audio in addition to text based clues?
Absolutely! Media clues in the following formats are supported: JPG, SVG, PNG, GIF, MP3, MP4 or YouTube links.
Can I create a colored word search grid?
While you can't create a colored word search, you can enhance your puzzle by changing the font of the letters and the highlight color—both available in the Series Designer. Additionally, there are two other aspects of the grid you can modify: letter rotation and letter size. These options are available in "Krazy Word Search" under Settings.
How can I make the word search puzzles more difficult to solve?
You can disable individual assistance options for the puzzles. Please consult the documentation on word search contests for more details.
Can I upload multiple puzzles?
Uploading multiple puzzles/bulk uploading puzzles is available to our partners on the Enterprise plan. Please get in touch with us for details.
