Once paid, that button will turn into a 'Publish' button that will put your word search in a format that can be printed or solved online.

What is BrightSprout?

Since we built the crossword builder in 2012, we’ve continued to add more and more builders for teachers to create materials for their students. Now, over ten years later, we’ve added four more builders and felt it was time to get more organized (we all get Folder Fever sometimes).
We’ve renamed our company BrightSprout to better represent the diverse builders we create and to simplify your experience on our sites.

How about gifts?

Yes! Check out our gifts page to browse crossword and word search themed shirts, hoodies, mugs, and more.

Can I print from a different computer?

Yes. All word searches created with the word search maker are saved to the cloud and accessible from any computer when you log in.

Where are my saved word searches?

When logged in, click on the 'My Puzzles' link in the header to see your word search or create a new word search. Word searches you are working on can be found in the “Word Searches I’m Making” section, and word searches you’ve completed can be found in the “Word Searches I’ve Published” section.

Can I give my solvers clues, instead of a word list?

Yes. Click on a word in the word list at the right of your word search to write a clue for it.

What about other languages?

You can create Spanish word searches using the Spanish word search maker and French word searches using the French word search maker. Change your language in the 'Customize' section.

Can I keep my word search private?

Yes. When you finalize your word search, you have the option of adding a password. You can keep this password private or share it only with your designated solvers.

Do I own the rights to my word search?

Yes. My Word Search will never make money from your work.
