Medium difficulty: across, down and diagonals, nothing backwards. Every word appears exactly once — the generator checks the finished grid rather than assuming. Solutions are in the book, not on this page.
Turn it into a book
Puzzle Press makes the whole paperback for Amazon KDP — word search or criss-cross fill-in, this theme or several mixed, graded easy to hard if you like, solutions at the back, margins and page count to KDP's rules — then the cover. Free to use; free books have unmarked pages and a cover marked PREVIEW, and $19 once removes that.
