What are Shaped / Masked Word Search Puzzles
A shaped word search puzzle is a word search that keeps the words inside a clear shape, which makes the puzzle more fun and challenging than a standard grid. These puzzles are great for worksheets, activity books, classrooms, and home use.
Shaped word search puzzles are widely used in education and learning. Teachers use them to improve spelling, vocabulary, reading skills, and focus. Because the shape adds difficulty, students must pay more attention while searching for words. They are also useful for language learning, ESL practice, and themed lessons.
Shaped word searches are perfect for themes and special occasions. They are commonly used for holidays, birthdays, classrooms, events, marketing materials, and educational printables. With this Shaped (Masked) Word Search Maker, anyone can quickly create unique, printable puzzles that are engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable for all ages.
Shaped (Masked) Word Search Maker
Our Shaped (Masked) Word Search Maker lets you make special shaped word search puzzles instead of the usual square grid. Instead of filling every cell, the puzzle keeps letters only inside a chosen shape such as a heart, star, animal, object, or many other outlines and hides the words within that design. You can enter your own word list, adjust the layout and grid size, and then generate a puzzle you can download and print, including a solution sheet.
You can customize the title, choose uppercase or lowercase words, pick fonts, set difficulty levels, and decide how the puzzle looks before generating a new solution and downloading a PDF for printing.
