OWNER DRAFT WORKSHOP

Create a word search.

Start with an example, make it your own, then review a private draft.

Drafts only. Nothing here publishes a puzzle, unlocks member access or changes billing. English screening is not an all-language guarantee; editorial review still comes next.

1 Shape your puzzle

Try a starting point

Loads the form only
Separate example: fictional case practice

Investigation vocabulary, not historical facts or a real case.

Choose an example or write your own list below. No draft is generated until you confirm its plan.

0 targets

One target per line. Spaces, accents, apostrophes and hyphens are normalized. Avoid duplicates or answers inside other answers. Every target must pass the server checks.

Advanced: repeatable seed & draft count

Start with one draft. The same seed and settings repeat the result. Up to 8 drafts per plan; generation runs one at a time.

This checks the plan. It does not generate or publish a puzzle.

2 · PREVIEW & REVIEW

A little discovery starts here.

  2. Preview the grid size and placement rules.
  3. Generate, then check every target in the private draft.

No AI provider is called. Difficulty describes placement rules, not a measured solving time.

YOUR SAVED WORK

Private draft catalog

Saved drafts stay private. They are never automatically added to the paid library.

Clears this form’s current plan and preview only—not saved drafts or player progress.
