What This Skill Does

Generates word search puzzles locally via the PuzzleTide CLI. Supports themed word banks, custom word lists, difficulty levels, and output as PDF, SVG, or JSON.

Replaces hand-writing word search grids or relying on language models that produce broken or misaligned puzzles.

When to Use It

  • Create a printable word search worksheet for a classroom activity
  • Generate a themed word search puzzle for a kids' party or event
  • Produce a word search grid with a custom list of words for an app or game
  • Export a word search puzzle as SVG for digital publishing or design
  • Generate a reproducible puzzle with a specific seed for testing or sharing

Install

PuzzleTide Word Search

Generate word search puzzles with the local PuzzleTide CLI.

Never hand-write a word search grid. Language models reliably produce grids where words are misaligned, broken, or missing entirely. The CLI places every word deterministically and is property-tested: every word in the list is guaranteed to be findable in the grid.

Prefer the local CLI. Check availability in this order:

ptide --version
puzzletide --version
npx puzzletide --version

If none of those work, ask the user before installing (npm install -g puzzletide).

Generate from a custom word list

ptide wordsearch generate --words "coral,shark,kelp,wave,tide"

Generate from a bundled themed word bank

ptide words themes --search dinosaur          # find a theme id
ptide wordsearch generate --theme animals/dinosaurs --count 12

Printable worksheet (PDF with solution page) or SVG

ptide wordsearch generate --theme animals/ocean-animals --pdf ocean.pdf
ptide wordsearch generate --words "..." --svg puzzle.svg --title "Ocean Fun"

Useful options

  • --difficulty easy|medium|hard — easy is forward-only (great for kids), hard uses all 8 directions including backwards.
  • --size <n> — square grid size (6-30); auto-computed if omitted.
  • --seed <seed> — reproducible output; the seed is printed with every puzzle.
  • --json — structured data (grid, word placements with coordinates) for apps and automation.

Canonical form for automation

ptide run puzzle.wordsearch.generate --theme space --json

Safety

  • Puzzles are generated locally; no account, API key, or network access.
