Every word in there exactly once

Finding a word in a field of letters is reading it letter by letter, again and again. The level changes what a word can do — not just how big the grid is.

Find it, circle it, check it off.

A word search generator for kids, printable as a PDF. Pick a theme — animals, under the sea, outer space, the farm, weather, fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, winter, back to school, sight words — or type this week's spelling words, and get a letter grid with the words hidden in it and a checklist underneath. Easy is 8 × 8 with words only across and down, the way a beginning reader reads; medium is 11 × 11 with diagonals; hard is 14 × 14 with words running every way, backward included. Every word appears exactly once, and the answer key circles them all.
