FAQ
Good to know
How many students can play at once?
Word Search runs solo or with up to four players in a round. For a whole-class hunt, put one grid on the projector and let tables race to spot words.
Do students need their own devices?
No. It works fully on the projector. For individual play, students join from any browser with a code, or you can share a play link — nothing to install.
Can AI build a puzzle on my topic?
Yes. Give it a topic and grade level — or paste your own word list — and it builds the grid in under a minute. Ready-made packs are there when you're in a hurry.
Can I make it easier or harder?
Grid sizes run from 8×8 up to 20×20, with easy, medium and hard settings, an optional timer, and a word list you can show or hide.
Do students need accounts?
Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
