Word searches can be fun, informative, challenging puzzles that cover a broad range of topics. That may be why FreeWordSearch.net users have created hundreds of new word searches on the site, bringing the total up to 2,160 puzzles.
"People come up with a lot of great ideas," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "Puzzles from this batch are about cartoon characters, the Bay of Pigs, and everything in-between."
A lot of the new puzzles are good fun for people who enjoy book, TV, and movie word searches. There are plenty covering novels, plays, scripts, and stories such as The Devil's Arithmetic, Frozen, Divergent, Romeo and Juliet, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Indian in the Cupboard. These word searches are great for group fun, waiting rooms, and home activities.
Many of the other entries are more serious-minded and useful for school activities and educational downtime. These include history word searches concerning President JFK, the Gold Rush, Julius Caesar, the Abolition of Slavery, the Cold War, and Ancient Greece.
All word searches are free to use from FreeWordSearch.net. Popular categories address science, literature, religion, family, holidays, and animals. For those who wish to create their own, a free word search maker is available that allows users to create a puzzle in any size or difficulty. Users simply enter a list of words and check the box for including backwards, diagonal, and misspelled words. There are also options for puzzle sizes and difficulty levels.
"You can make a puzzle about anything you want and download it instantly," said Savetz. "If all the words fit, it's quick and easy."
