Quick answer

The Word Search plugin generates editable SVG word-search puzzles in SVGSketch. Enter a word list, choose placement directions, apply rectangular or shaped masks, style the lettering, and place the finished puzzle on the canvas.

Steps at a glance

  1. Enter the puzzle words

    Paste words separated by commas or new lines and review the live validation feedback.

  2. Choose directions and shape

    Set board dimensions, placement directions, backwards words, and the active-cell mask.

  3. Place and edit the SVG puzzle

    Drag the generated puzzle onto the canvas, then edit the letters, grid, title, or word list as SVG.

Create word-search puzzles as SVG

The plugin builds the grid, letters, title, creator line, and optional word list as SVGSketch shapes. That keeps puzzle artwork editable for worksheets, newsletters, classroom handouts, and puzzle-book layouts.

Because the output uses normal text and line shapes, you can adjust fonts, letter color, grid styling, spacing, and surrounding page elements before export.

Control directions, masks, and typography

Direction controls cover across, down, diagonal, and backwards placement so the generated puzzle can be tuned for different difficulty levels.

Shape masks let the board fill a rectangle, circle, triangle, star, and other supported primitive silhouettes while typography controls reuse the editor text pipeline for the puzzle letters.
