I'm the creator of IT Word Search Labs.
I built this because I enjoy word puzzles but found that generic ones (fruits, animals, etc.) were a bit boring. I wanted something that felt relevant to my day-to-day work as a developer.
It’s a simple web app that generates word search puzzles based on IT terminologies, covering topics like Python, Web Development, Cyber Security, and more.
How it works: It uses React for the UI. The grid generation algorithm places words randomly with collision detection to ensure a valid board every time.
Features: Tech-specific dictionaries. Clean, distraction-free interface (no ads). Printable mode (for offline use or classrooms).
It's a fun little side project to kill time while waiting for builds to complete.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the UI or suggestions for new word categories.
Thanks!
