Embed a word search on your own website

This is what it looks like

The puzzle below is embedded exactly the way yours will be. Drag across the letters to find a word.

The code for this example

Two parts: the frame with the puzzle and, below it, an ordinary link. The link tells your readers where the puzzle comes from. Please keep it. It is the only thing we ask in return.

Get the code for your own puzzle

Make your puzzle in the maker and press “Embed”: you get the finished code right away. Or paste the share link of a puzzle here (the link from “Copy link”) and the code appears below.

Embed the whole maker

Would you like your visitors to make a word search themselves? This frame shows the complete maker: they type their words, pick a shape and print the result or save it as a PDF. Nothing is stored on your page.

Embed your own in three steps

1. Make your word search

   Type your words in the maker, choose a difficulty and a shape, and add a secret message if you like.

2. Press “Embed”

   The button sits next to “Copy link”. It shows the finished code for exactly this puzzle.

3. Copy the code and paste it into your page

   Use the HTML view of your editor, a “Custom HTML” block or the code field of your learning platform.

Who embeds word searches

• Teachers

  Vocabulary, spelling words or a quick finisher: put the puzzle on the class page and students solve it on their own devices.

• Blogs and magazines

  A puzzle at the end of an article keeps readers on the page. Holidays, animals, food or history fit most blogs.

• Clubs, parishes and libraries

  A word search about your town, your club or the church year for the newsletter page, or a rainy-day puzzle for the children's corner.

Where it works

WordPress

Add a “Custom HTML” block and paste the code.

Google Sites

Choose Insert, then Embed, then “Embed code”, and paste it.

Moodle

Open the HTML view (the <> button) of a Page or a Label and paste the code. If your site removes frames, ask the administrator or use the share link instead.

Google Classroom

Classroom posts do not show embedded frames. Attach the share link to the assignment; students open the puzzle with one tap.

Wix, Squarespace and others

Use the “Embed HTML” element or the code block and paste the code.

Size

The frame uses the full width of the column, up to 900 pixels. A puzzle needs about 800 pixels of height, the maker about 1,100. On wide pages the word list sits next to the grid, on narrow ones below it. Change the number after height= if you need more or less room.

Optional: height that fits

If your page allows scripts, this snippet sets the frame to exactly the height of its content. Paste it once anywhere on the page. It is recommended for the maker, whose height depends on the width of the screen.

<script>
addEventListener('message', function (e) {
  if (e.origin !== 'https://www.wordsearchstudio.org' || !e.data || !e.data.wsEmbedHeight) return;
  document.querySelectorAll('iframe').forEach(function (f) {
    if (f.contentWindow === e.source) f.style.height = e.data.wsEmbedHeight + 'px';
  });
});
</script>

Privacy: nothing that needs your cookie banner

The embedded view sets no cookies, stores nothing in the visitor's browser, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other companies. Fonts and scripts come from our own server, and the puzzle itself is only read in the visitor's browser. As with every frame, our server receives the usual request data (such as the IP address) when the frame loads; the details are in our privacy policy. Privacy policy
