Easy Puzzle Maker
About us

Good puzzles, free,
with nothing in the way.

Easy Puzzle Maker is eight printable puzzle makers in one place. No account, no email address, no watermark, and nothing to upgrade to.

Why we made it

Making a word search for a class or a rainy afternoon should take a minute. Instead the tools that do it are mostly twenty years old, hidden behind a signup, capped at three puzzles a month, or they stamp a logo across the page you were about to photocopy thirty times.

So we built the version we wanted: type your words, pick your options, download a clean PDF. That is the whole product.

How it works

Every puzzle here is generated by your own browser. There is no server that builds them, which means there is no upload, no queue, no account and nothing of yours sitting in a database. It is also why the site is instant and why it costs us almost nothing to run, which is what lets it stay free.

Who it is for

Teachers, parents, homeschoolers, ESL tutors, party hosts, church groups and activity coordinators in care homes. Which means the people actually solving the puzzles are often young children or older adults, so the whole site is built for them too: big targets, big type, strong colour, and printed sheets that are easy on the eye.

What it costs

Nothing, and there is no paid tier waiting behind a button. Make one puzzle or five hundred. The puzzles you make are yours to use however you like, including in a classroom and commercially. See the terms for the short version of that, and the privacy policy for what little we do collect.

What we hold to

Free, and staying free

No account, no email address, no watermark, no limit and no paid tier to upgrade to.

Your words stay yours

Puzzles are built in your browser. Nothing you type into a puzzle is ever sent to us, because there is nowhere to send it.

Made for paper first

US Letter or A4, an answer key wherever one makes sense, and no logo in the corner of the page.

What you can make

Eight makers and 60 ready-made themes, all free.
