Mississippi word search word list
12 words, hand-picked to fit a 15×15 grid. Free to use in any puzzle you make, including ones you sell. One thing to know if you build grids by hand: MAGNOLIA sits inside MAGNOLIASTATE — never put both in the same puzzle, or the shorter one is found twice. The generator keeps them apart automatically.
Runs in your browser — nothing you type leaves your computer. No sign-up. $19 once removes the PREVIEW cover mark; 30-day refund, no questions.
The button opens the free generator with this theme selected. It draws all 12 words into a single 15×15 puzzle. A list this size makes one puzzle, not a book — the theme picker is checkboxes, so tick a second list alongside this one and the generator will build as many different puzzles as the combined list allows.

Copy freely. One per line or comma-separated pastes straight into the generator's "Your own list" box if you want to add or remove words.
Crossword clues for every word
The same list with a plain-language clue for each word — written for the crossword type, and free to use in a grid you build yourself. Copy the lines as they are (word — clue) into the generator's own-list box and it makes the crossword for you.

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.
