FAQ
Can I add my own words related to the 100th day?
Yes, you can type your own custom list of up to 30 words into the generator. This is useful if you want to include specific vocabulary words or names of students in the class. The tool will automatically arrange your words into the grid. You still get the choice of grid size and difficulty for your custom list.
How do I print this 100th day of school word search?
Click Download PDF and print the file at 100% scale (no “fit to page” needed, it is already sized for US Letter with printer-safe margins). Every download includes an answer key page you can keep or skip when printing.
Can I solve it online without printing?
Yes. Hit Solve online above the preview and drag across a word to mark it; found words get highlighted and counted. Works with a finger on tablets, ideal for early finishers at the classroom computer.
What is the best difficulty level for first or second grade students?
The Easy setting is usually best for younger students because it only uses across and down directions. This avoids the frustration of diagonal or backward words. You can start with a 10x10 grid to keep the search area manageable. As students gain confidence, you can move up to a 12x12 grid or try the Medium difficulty.
Can I make multiple different versions for my class?
Yes. Turn on “5 versions” to get five different puzzles with the same words in one PDF, each with its own answer key. Handy for keeping neighbouring desks honest.
Where can I make a word search with my own words for free?
On this page: switch the panel to My own words, type or paste up to 30 words, give it a title like Week 12 Spelling, and download the PDF. It is free, requires no account, and the puzzle regenerates if you want a different layout of the same words.
