Answer Key Helper
Word Search Solver and Answer Key Helper
Paste a letter grid and word list to make a highlighted answer key. This version is for typed grids, printable handouts, and copied puzzles that need a quick visual check.
How to use this helper
Enter one grid row per line. Spaces are fine. Words can go forward or backward across rows, columns, and diagonals. The answer key highlights the grid and lists one-based row and column numbers.
For now, this solver uses typed grids only. Image scanning is a separate feature because camera OCR needs careful review and should not slow down the paper-first helper.
Printable puzzle support
If you are using one of our large print puzzles, the built-in answer key is still the easiest route. Use this solver when you have a different typed grid, a copied puzzle, or a paper handout that you want to check manually.
