Visual answer pages

The solutions section highlights every placed word directly on its matching grid.

Build a word search book in three steps

1. Pick language and theme

Choose the book language and a themed word bank, or select a compatible custom list.

2. Configure the section

Set the number of grids and the difficulty level for that section.

3. Get the manuscript

Words are placed, checked, and assembled with their solutions in the finished PDF.

Available print sizes

Word search books can use the Standard 6 × 9 in and 8.5 × 11 in trim sizes, with margins, mirrored gutter, and page numbers handled by the PDF assembler.

Difficulty and grid composition

Easy, Medium, and Hard settings adjust grid generation. Each section keeps its own difficulty and word source.

Placed-word validation

The validator confirms that every listed word is present at its recorded position in the generated grid. Lists are normalized before generation.
