FAQ
Can I add my own St. Patrick’s Day words to the list?
Yes, you can customize the list with up to 30 words. Simply type your preferred terms into the box to replace the default ones. This feature works well if you want to focus on specific vocabulary words like GOLD or COIN that align with your current lesson plans or a storybook you are reading aloud.
How do I print this st. patrick's 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 elementary students?
Easy puzzles work best for younger children because the words only appear across or down. Medium puzzles introduce diagonals, which provide a nice challenge for upper elementary students. If you want to test older kids, choose the Hard level. This setting hides words in all eight directions, including backwards, to make the search much more difficult.
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.
