DIY Word Search

In this Instructable I will be showing you how to make your own word search. This can be useful for teachers, babysitters, parents, and anyone who is in need of a word search! I hope you enjoy it!

This does not take many materials. Here they are,

• Paper
• Pencil
• pen
• printer
• ruler
• scissors

First grab one piece of printer paper, ruler, and pencil. Measure 2cm out from the left width side of the paper. Then, from that line, draw a tick line every 1cm. Do this 20 times. After 20 tick lines are drawn, use the ruler to draw lines all the way along the paper. Then, draw the same 20 1cm lines on the length side of the paper. After you do this, erase the 2cm section and the bottom where the 20 1cm lines end.

Write your words for the word search one letter per square. Make sure to put some diagonal, vertical, and horizontal. Also make sure to spread them all out across the page. Then, place random letters all around the words. Do this until all the squares are full. Tip: Put two of the same letters next to each other in some spots to help confuse the puzzle solver. Trace over the letters with a pen and erase the lines.

In the 2cm spot, write the title of your word search. And on the large margin write the words that the solver is going to find.

Now, copy the paper for how ever many copies you need. Make sure to have an answer sheet (or two).

Your all done! I hope your class, children, the kids you babysit, or whoever you are going to have solve the word search loves it.
