A winforms app to automate generation of word search games
Words are defined in the WordSearchParams.cs file. By convention there are 10 words per game but this isn't a hard and fast limit.
When the application starts, pressing GENERATE will have a go at filling the grid with the words the player needs to find. If you don't find the pattern that interesting, you can press GENERATE as many times as you like.
When you're happy with the grid, you can press FILL to add letters to the remaining empty squares on the grid.
You can then use the Snipping Tool or similar to grab the screen and print the puzzle out.
The initial application was thrown together in a weekend to entertain my children back in 2018, but there is considerable scope for development. There are a lot of issues ranging from minor to not-so-minor that developers or hobbyists can cut their teeth on.
