Puzzle

The Puzzle menu provides a number of options for manipulating and customizing your word search puzzles:
  • When you click Shape... on the Puzzle menu, the following dialog box will be displayed:

    Shape in Word Search Printer

    The shape dialog allows you to modify the shape of the word search puzzle by marked certain squares as "Unused". These Unused Squares are then filled with the Unused color (see formatting) instead of containing a letter.

    The functions in the Shape dialog are:
    • The grid on the left shows which squares are available for letters and which are unused. Simply click on a cell to change it between the two states.

    • The Reset button makes all the squares available for letters.

    • The Save... and Load... buttons allow you to save the current shape into a file and retrieve it later. You could use these options to transfer shapes between projects or to build a library of shapes that you use again and again.

    • Click the OK button to close the dialog and retain the changes to the shape, or the Cancel button to close the dialog but discard the changes to the shape.

      Please note: You can only used shapes in the registered version of Word Search Printer.

  • When you click Word Directions... on the Puzzle menu, the following dialog box will be displayed:

    Word Directions in Word Search Printer

    By checking and unchecking the various checkboxes you can choose which word directions will and won't be used in the puzzle.

  • The Update Puzzle option on the Puzzle menu generates a new word search puzzle based on the current word list. You are not required to choose this option when you change the word list, puzzle size or shape as in these cases an updated puzzle will be generated automatically. However, you can choose this option if you are not satisfied with the current puzzle or simply want a new one.

    Clicking the Update Puzzle button on the main screen has exactly the same effect as this menu option.
