Word search maker
Type 3-20 words in Thai or English and get a grid of letters that hides them, with the list of words under it and an answer key that rings each word. Thai words are hidden by cell, a consonant with its vowel and tone marks together, so the grid reads like a classroom sheet.

The sheet you make is yours: use it in class, print and sell it or sell the file, no credit needed. Everything is made in your browser; the words are not sent anywhere or kept, and they are gone when you close the page.
How to use it
- Type 3-20 words, one per line (pasting a column from Excel or a chat works). The grid appears on the right at once.
- Pick the grid size; "Automatic" grows the grid until the words fit. Tick "diagonally" or "backwards" to make it harder. "New random sheet" gives another grid from the same words.
- Press "Print / Save as PDF". The puzzle is the first page and the answer key the next one (untick "Print the answer key" to leave it out).
Good to know
- Thai words: a cell holds one consonant with the vowel above or below it and its tone mark (ก้ or อี้, for instance); the vowels written before (เ แ โ ใ ไ) and after (ะ า ำ) a consonant take a cell of their own, so "เก้าอี้" takes four cells. The empty cells get plain consonants.
- English words go in as capitals and the empty cells get A-Z. A word with a space, like ice cream, is joined into ICECREAM.
- A word too long for the grid, or words that will not all fit, are named so you can pick a bigger grid or fewer words. Words of one letter are left out, repeated words too.
- A word can by chance appear a second time among the random filler letters. If that bothers you, press "New random sheet".
- Nothing is saved: the list is gone when you close the page. The same list also makes a word scramble or a matching sheet.

Questions and answers
How are Thai words hidden in the grid?
A cell holds one consonant with the vowel above or below it and its tone mark; the vowels written before (เ แ โ) and after (ะ า ำ) a consonant take a cell of their own. The empty cells get plain consonants.
How many words, and how long can they be?
3 to 20 words, one per line. A word cannot be longer than the grid; with the automatic size the grid grows until the words fit, up to 20 cells. Repeated words and one-letter words are left out.
Which directions are the words hidden in?
Left to right and top to bottom by default. Tick the options to add diagonals or backwards words for a harder puzzle. The answer key rings every word.
