Getting Started: Uploading Your Images
Step 1: Prepare Your Images
- Take clear photos of both the word search grid and the word list
- Make sure images are well-lit with good contrast
- Avoid shadows or glare on the paper
- Ensure text is clearly visible and not cut off
Step 2: Upload Your Images
- Click in the “Upload Puzzle Grid” area to select an image of the word search grid
- Click in the “Upload Word List” area to select an image of the list of words to find
- Both images will display as previews once uploaded
- If an image looks unclear, try taking another photo and uploading again
Step 3: Process the Images
- Once both images are uploaded, click the “Solve Word Search” button
- Be patient while the system processes the images (this may take 3-5 seconds)
- The tool is using AI-like technology to identify letters and words
Understanding Your Results
The Solution Grid
- The word search grid will appear with found words highlighted in different colors
- Each word has its own unique color to make identification easy
- Click on any word in the word list below to highlight just that word in the grid
The Word List
- Below the grid, you’ll see all the words that were in your word list
- Words that were successfully found will appear with colored backgrounds
- Words with a white background and black border weren’t found and need attention
Fixing Problems and Editing Results
When to Edit Results
- If you see words with a white background and black border, they weren’t found
- This usually happens when:
- The solver misread a word (e.g., reading “GAME” as “GAVE”)
- The word is spelled differently in the grid
- The word is actually not in the puzzle
How to Edit Results
- Click the “No, Edit Results” button at the bottom of the results page
- You’ll see two text areas:
- Top: The puzzle grid letters (one letter per column, rows separated by lines)
- Bottom: The word list (one word per line)
Tips for Effective Editing
- In the word list: Correct any misspelled words
- In the puzzle grid: Check for misrecognized letters, especially:
- 0 (zero) vs O (letter)
- 1 (one) vs I (letter)
- 8 vs B
- 5 vs S
- Make sure all letters are uppercase
- Remove any stray punctuation or numbers
- After editing, click “Search Words Again” to reprocess
Advanced Tips for Parents and Party-Goers
For Parents Helping with Homework
- Take the photo in natural light if possible
- If your child’s worksheet has multiple puzzles, crop the image to focus on just one
- Use the edit function to correct any letters that look similar (like I and J)
- Show your child how the words connect to help them learn pattern recognition
For Baby Shower Competitions
- Discreetly take photos of the word search and word list
- Process it quickly while others are still searching
- Focus on finding the most challenging words first when you return to the game
Saving Time with Quick Edits
- Sometimes it’s faster to just edit one or two problematic words rather than retaking photos
- For complex puzzles, consider editing out words you’ve already found manually
- If many words aren’t found, check if the grid letters are properly aligned in rows and columns
Troubleshooting
- Problem: No words are found at all – Solution: Check if the letters in the grid match what you see in the original puzzle
- Problem: Only some words are found – Solution: Look for words with white backgrounds and edit them to match exactly what’s in the grid
- Problem: The grid looks jumbled – Solution: In edit mode, ensure each row has the same number of letters and proper spacing
- Problem: Words are found but in the wrong places – Solution: Verify that the grid correctly represents the puzzle structure.
