Word Search
The Word Search widget builds a puzzle from your own word list. Type up to eight words, one per line, press Make Puzzle, and a 10 by 10 letter grid appears with your words hidden across and down. Students call out where they spot a word, and you tap its first and last letter to mark it found. It is a fast, fun way to review spelling and topic vocabulary. No signup needed.
