Frequently Asked Questions

Is this word search maker really free?

Yes. The Mint N Miles Word Search Maker is 100% free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many puzzles you generate or download.

Can I use the generated word searches for commercial projects?

Yes. Puzzles you generate can be used for personal, educational, or commercial projects including activity books, worksheets, apps, and printables.

What file formats can I download?

You can download your word search as PNG or SVG. SVG is a vector format that stays sharp at any size — ideal for printing and publishing.

What happens if a word doesn't fit in the grid?

The tool shows a placement status panel. Words that fit are shown in green. If a word is too long for the grid, or cannot fit under the current difficulty's overlap rules, it appears in red so you know to adjust the size or difficulty.

Can I reproduce the same word search later?

Yes. Every puzzle has a seed number. Enter the same seed along with the same grid size, word list, and difficulty and you will get the identical puzzle.
