Word Searches are a popular form of entertainment in Britain for adults. It’s pretty easy to use more limited vocabulary sets and create searches for ESL and EFL students.

But there’s a quicker way. With PuzzleMaker online.

So create your wordlist. Then you can go to the Puzzlemaker Website and paste your list.

The instructions are pretty clear on the page itself. But what I typically do with the results is paste them into a table in Word and create a complete worksheet itself. Once you make up the standard block in Word, it’s pretty easy to copy and paste the results into it.

I’ve included a sample Word Search created with this tool as a PDF http://www.hkjtefl.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/wordsearchfoodsweeat.pdf .
