Word Search Maker

[PhilOfPerth]

This is a word search puzzle maker. You can make a classic word search puzzle for yourself, family, or friends. It has printer support also which lets you print them on your printer when you press P. Unlike some apps, you don't place anything in the puzzle, it places everything automatically after you give it the words to use. I also added a feature to show you where any word is if you get stumped if you press A. Plus it has a clipboard function, if you press C. It copies the entire puzzle to your computer's clipboard so you can paste it as an image to another graphics program, where you can save it as an image or change it. Instructions are in the program and on the heading. Thank you to B+ and PhilofPerth for your help and ideas. Also thanks to ChatGPT for some help, although I did get pretty far by myself.
If you come across a word that it can't use, you will have to start over on making the puzzle. Once in awhile there won't be enough letters to use for the puzzle, especially long words. There's also a 15 letter limit on all words. 

The puzzle itself is 18 letters by 18 letters large that can use between 1 and 24 words.  

Have fun! 

Nice one, Ken. Nice and quick.
I have a draft of one of these that I've shelved for a while, but you beat me to it..
I was battling with a way to re-use letters in another word, and to allow reverse  and diagonal words as difficulty options.
Maybe your next challenge? 
Might be good to have the instructions visible after you make a wordsearch - I couldn't remember what to do to print it out. etc.
