About

WordHider 1.0 is a program to create word-search puzzles from a vocabulary you supply. With no built-in vocabulary, it is not a program for puzzle fans to generate their own puzzles. It also does not *solve* puzzles for you, just creates them. It is intended for parents and teachers to generate puzzles for educational purposes. (I use it for my daughter's spelling lists, and a friend uses it for teaching English.) It includes faclities for laying out the generated puzzle, the word list, and other layout items, on a printed page. It allows unused puzzle cells to be filled with random text or with a "hidden message" and can print a fill-in-the-blanks area to receive the message. It's freeware. I retain the copyright and owner rights, but you are free to use it and redistribute it without charge. No warranty. The program, a document in Microsoft Word 5.1 format, and this README file are enclosed in this self-extracting archive. This is a 68020+ version. It's been tested on system 7.1 and system 7.5, on a 7100, 2-si, and 540. Needs about 3MB of disk, and 3MB of free RAM to run. A PPC version will follow. (On request, I could generate a 68000 version, but cannot test it, and I suspect the program might be too heavy for very old Macs.)
