Add at least 3 words above to make a puzzle.
Set the difficulty to the age
Easy hides every word across or down, so early readers can scan in straight lines. Medium adds diagonals, and hard also runs words backwards for older solvers. Pick a 10, 13 or 15 wide grid to match how many words you have.
Great for classrooms and parties
Build a spelling list into a puzzle, make a themed sheet for a birthday party, or hand one out as an early-finisher activity. The answer key page means anyone can check it, and every puzzle prints clean with no watermark.
