Make it harder, easier, or bigger

Every puzzle is generated fresh from a random seed, so no two are alike — reload the generator and you get a brand-new grid with the same words. Choose easy for forwards-only words (best for young children), medium to add diagonals, or hard to include backwards words. You can also hide a secret message in the leftover letters.
