Puzzle Maker Pro – Zig Zag Word Search – Random Shapes – Product Information
DescriptionZig Zag Word Search places words in zig zag / jigsaw / tetris-style pieces. For regular Zig Zag Word Search puzzles, the letters of the words are connected vertically or horizontally. All the words together completely fill the grid. With Puzzle Maker Pro – Zig Zag Word Search i Random Shapes, you get unique Word Search puzzles with random (polygon) shapes. With these shapes, the puzzles look completely different, and there are different ways to connect the letters. In a regular Zig Zag Word Search puzzle, each letter has up to 4 neighbors, with Random Shapes there can be up to 8. Additionally you can set the font, choose Uppercase or lowercase, remove spaces and other characters from your word list, and use Fill Letters if your words don’t exactly fill out the grid. Use a word list (txt) file, or copy/paste the words, select your own background and line colors. You can set the total number of puzzles, or create until all words in your word list have been used. Note: The Masks Add-On does not work with Random Shapes | Ease of UseFirst, select Grid Type: Random Shapes. Then: The easiest way: Use a list that has enough words and characters to fill the grid, Paste it in the Word List area, and Click “Next Preview” For a 10×10 grid you’d need exactly 100 letters, but if you use words with a total of e.g. 150 letters, the software will pick the right words to exactly fill the grid. A bit less easy: Use the Random Fills on the Advanced tab to fill up the grid when the combined words don’t exactly have 100 letters. The best way: Either go with the first option: Use many words and let the software select them randomly, or count the letters of the words you want to use and make sure there are exactly enough letters to fill the grid. Immediate AccessYou can use the software right away. Just download and install the newest version of Puzzle Maker Pro from the member area, and start creating your puzzles and puzzle books.
