WORDSEARCH OPTIONS

Before you give the command to build the Wordsearch puzzle, you can set some options which the program will use during the construction process.
  • To specify the size or shape of the Wordsearch puzzle you can:-
    • Enter values for the number of cells Across and Down. This will result in a rectangular puzzle. OR

    • Select a Template: You can use the Grid Maintenance function to create Templates in any shape you desire. Please study the Grid Maintenance Help for instructions on how to do this.
  • This dialog also contains a field into which you can enter a Message which is to be used to fill those spaces in the puzzle which are not occupied by any of the words.

  • These puzzles are very useful for teaching word recognition skills to young students. For very young students, it may be better to limit the direction of hidden words to only Across and Down. This can be done by unchecking the unwanted Direction Control checkboxes.
