Why a word search?

Parents on Reddit and Facebook want quiet, screen-free party activities

Every year, party planners on Reddit and Facebook mom groups ask the same thing: what do the kids do between trick-or-treating and dinner that is not another screen? Word searches are the answer parents actually use — cheap to print, self-contained, and they keep a table occupied for 20 minutes. This generator removes the "I used the same worksheet from 2019" problem by making a brand-new random grid every click.

Yes — horizontal, vertical and diagonal, forwards and backwards, the way real word search puzzles work.
Is it free for classroom use?
