Wordsearch Maker from Tools for Educators lets you make a word search puzzle with text hints or image hints. There's more information about all of the options at the bottom of the page.

Hint Type: THANKSGIVINGIMAGE

Puzzle Case: UPPER CASE   lowercase
Direction: Direction 1   Direction 2
Font: Comic Sans   Arial   Times New Roman   Georgia
Grid size: 12 x 12   18 x 15   25 x 15
Hint Type: Text   Image

If you use text hints, they will be entered below the puzzle just as you typed them. If you want uppercase then you'll need to type them in uppercase.

You do not have to use all of the input fields. Anything left blank will not be included in the puzzle. You can toggle between text and image hints if you are using the images groupings, but for more options with text only, it's best to use text only version.

When using image hints, you still need to have puzzle text. When you select an image, the image will appear below the puzzle as the hint. After selecting an image, the image name will appear in the puzzle text field. You can use that or just type over that text if you'd like. I made it that way to be faster for for entry, and so the user still has complete control. You can enter anything you'd like for the text, for example 'eat', 'eating', 'ate' if you wanted to practice different verb forms. This also solves the problem of American English vs. British English. If you'd like 'trousers' instead of 'pants,' you can do that. It also means teachers of some other foreign languages can also use the word search generator for their classes as well.

If you don't see the options you are looking for, it might be helpful to return to the main page (word search maker) and select the category that you'd like. You may have entered this page off an old link or bookmark.
