Simple application to create and print your word search games using Yaml files.

npm install word-search-game -g

yarn global add word-search-game

• Create a Yaml file

Yaml files need to follow this structure:

title: Any title
words:
    - Word1
    - Word2
    - Word3
    - ...

• Open a terminal in the same Yaml directory.
• Call word-search-game, you will get a prompt of Yaml files that reside in the current directory.
• Select your file and wait till generation completes, after that it will open a browser with the game ready to be printed.
• A generated folder will be created with the word games with .html format.

word-search-game example.yml

word-search-game some-path/example.yml

In this case, generated folder will be created under some-path

That's it!

I highly recommend to create up to 15 words. This will fit perfectly in a letter sheet in landscape mode.

This application is a wrapper of this webpage. Config like number of rows and columns can be set at ./lib/default-form-data.js.

From this Yaml file:

title: Astronomy
words:
  - Sun
  - Mercury
  - Venus
  - Earth
  - Mars
  - Jupiter
  - Saturn
  - Uranus
  - Neptune
  - Pluto
  - Moon
  - Stars

The game will look like this:
