A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Good to know.
Is Sprig & Seek really free?
Yes. Playing, creating, and printing word searches are free. You do not need an account or a subscription.
Can I print a puzzle and its answers?
Yes. Select Print, choose a blank puzzle or include a separate answer-key page, then use your browser’s print dialog. Save as PDF is available in most browsers.
Can I use this in my classroom?
Absolutely. Add vocabulary words to create a custom activity, choose Easy for forward-only words, and print copies. Longer words may increase the grid size to make sure everything fits.
Will my puzzle be saved?
Your current puzzle and found words are saved only in this browser when local storage is available. Starting a new puzzle replaces that save. Word lists are not sent to a server.
