Both create and play attractive wordsearch puzzles with this easy-to-use and powerful software. It has educational benefits (for example it can aid with reading and language skills) and is popular with teachers who want to make puzzles for the classroom and for homework exercises etc. It's also useful for making wordsearches for newsletters, newspapers and other publications or just use it as a fun game.

A comprehensive editor is provided, which allows you to easily design your word search puzzles. Simply provide 100% Word Search with the words to include, choose which directions you want to allow and the word search puzzle is instantly created. You can have word search grid sizes from 5*5 to 50*50 and word searches can be in designs to perhaps reflect a theme, by using a wide array of drawing tools.

Word search puzzles can be saved, printed or exported as text or graphics for use in other programs. Word lists can also be imported from text files. Puzzles can be played against a timer by dragging a line over the word. A handy hint option is also provided.

The program features sound, a user-friendly resizable interface, full HTML help and sample puzzles to get you started. 40+ settings are also provided that are accessed from one convenient window. This allows you to change to your personal preferences: fonts, colours, line widths, time to play puzzles, whether the words list is shown when playing puzzles etc.

Why choose 100% Word Search for your word search program?

Its main strength is the ability to create and play puzzles; many similar programs lack the ability of support for both. The ability to play puzzles as well as make them is a great bonus and adds value to the software. Also the ease of use, yet powerful features (such as the ability to make puzzles in attractive designs) makes it a good choice for teachers and word search enthusiasts. The large amount of 40+ settings to let you control fonts, colours, whether to show the words list or not when playing etc. provides a very versatile program, which many similar programs lack.

Summary of Features

Both create and play puzzles. Two powerful modes - Design and Play. Many similar programs often only allow you to either create or play puzzles or have poor support for both. With 100% Word Search, both are comprehensively covered.
Easy-to-use. Making a puzzle is as simple as entering a list of words and pressing the 'Go...' button. Don't waste time with hard to use programs.
Create puzzles in great looking shapes (perhaps to reflect the topic, for example a valentines puzzle could be in the shape of a heart). This is easily achieved with an array of drawing tools, similar to that you would find in a professional paint package.
Choose the directions that you would like the words to be placed in. For example, you can make an easier puzzle by only having words placed horizontally or choose not to have words going backwards.
Make puzzles in different sizes. From a small 5*5 grid to a large challenging 50*50 grid.
Save, Export and Print. Easily save puzzles for future use. The useful export option allows word searches to be saved as bitmap or text files for use in other programs. Puzzles can be printed with the versatile print option.
Sample puzzles to get you started.
Ample documentation in HTML help. If you get stuck, help is only a click away.
The ability to try before you buy.
40+ settings makes the program very versatile. From one convenient window you can change these settings, which include...

Choose different fonts and sizes etc. for the grid and words to find (on both screen and printer). Don't be stuck with the same font and choose the settings that are best on your eyesight.
Choose different colours for the border, grid lines, background, drag line, letters, highlight lines etc.
Choose different sizes for the border, grid lines, drag line, highlight lines etc.
Select default settings for puzzles (width and height, along with allowable directions). (Save time if you regularly create puzzles of a specific size and/or specific set of allowable directions!)
Export & print options. Export & print puzzles with or without the grid/words to find. Set printer margins and colours of printed puzzles. Plus lots more!
Play puzzles at different levels. You get more time on easier levels (the time limit is automatically calculated by the complexity of the puzzle and the difficulty setting). You can also play on the easy level without a timer.
Set whether the words to find list is shown or not when playing puzzles.
The ability to enable/disable the hint and pause buttons (to stop cheating!) when playing puzzles.
The option to enable/disable sound and whether to show the solution after you quit puzzles.
