As you can see in the screenshot, chat gpt has presented me with a list of words related to swimming. There are a total of 30 words in this list, if I need more words then I can simply type “continue” in the type box and chat gpt will give me more words related to swimming. 

But I am sticking with these 30 words as this is all that I need to create a word search printable for my TPT store. Next, I can refine these words like I can ask chat gpt to delete duplicate words and also arrange them alphabetically.

As you can see in the screenshot above, chat gpt has given me a revised list without duplicates arranged alphabetically. Now I can copy these 28 words (after removing duplicates) related to swimming and paste them into a text file.

Step # 3 – Customizing Word Search Puzzles

There are a lot of customizations you can do inside instant puzzle generator to make your word search puzzles user-friendly. Below I will go over some of the customizations I like to do;

Puzzle Font, Font Size & Grid Size

Next, you can change the grid size and the appearance of puzzle clues. To do that you can click on the gear icon toward the top left of the individual puzzle (local puzzle settings) or you can click on the global puzzle settings towards the right sidebar.

With the local settings, you can make changes to a specific puzzle page, while with global puzzle settings, you can make changes to all puzzle pages. In case you only have a single puzzle page, as I do in this example, then you can click on any of the settings and it will do the changes to this only puzzle page.

puzzle setting options

Once you click on the puzzle setting option a new window opens on the right-hand side where you can make the following changes;

  • Change puzzle font
  • Change the fonts size of the title, description, and puzzles
  • Change grid size (I have changed it to 23Ă—23)
  • Position of the puzzle clue
  • Puzzle language
  • Puzzle solution settings

Word Search Puzzle Color Settings

You can access the puzzle color settings by clicking on the local or global setting icon as mentioned above and then scroll the popup window to see the color settings. These color settings allow you to change;

  • Puzzle title color
  • Puzzle description color
  • Puzzle letter color
  • Puzzle border-color
  • Solution filler letter color
  • Solution letter color

I have made some customizations to my swimming word search puzzle page and the end result is below. You can see I have to change the grid size, puzzle title, puzzle title color, and puzzle border color.
