FAQ
Can I include my own list of environmental terms?
Yes. You can type up to 30 custom words into the generator. This helps if you want to focus on specific vocabulary from your science curriculum or a recent class book. Once you enter your list, the tool builds a custom puzzle using your terms. You can then download the PDF or solve it directly on your screen.
How do I print this earth day 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.
Which difficulty level is best for primary students?
Easy puzzles are best for younger students because words only run across and down. This prevents frustration for children who are still building reading skills. As kids get older, you can move to Medium or Hard settings to include diagonals and backwards words. These higher levels provide a stronger challenge for older students who are ready to practice pattern recognition.
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.
