Use your own word list when you need a puzzle to match a lesson, spelling practice or family activity. Enter one word per line, choose a grid and difficulty, then select Use my words. Keep words within the grid length and check the finished list: a crowded grid may leave some words out, so shorten the list or enlarge the grid if needed.

A theme is a useful starting point when you do not have a list ready. Generate the words, review their spelling and suitability, and edit them before creating your final puzzle. For beginners, choose familiar vocabulary and Easy directions. You can try the puzzle online, then print it and keep its separate answer page for checking.
