The Word Search element allows you to automatically generate a word search puzzle from the names entered by customers. This is commonly used for personalized gifts such as shirts, posters, or family-themed designs.

Step 1: Add a Word Search Element

• Open your Template Editor.
• Go to Elements on the left sidebar.
• Scroll down and select Word Search (Beta) **then click on it to **insert it into your design.

The word search grid will appear on the canvas and can be resized or repositioned like any other design element.

Step 2: Enable Customer Personalization

If you want customers to enter their own names, scroll down to the Personalization section and enable Personalize text.

Then configure:

• Label: the field name shown to customers (e.g., Enter Names).
• **Help text: **instructions displayed under the input field.
• Max length: limit the number of characters.
• **Required: **require customers to enter names before checkout.

Once enabled, customers will be able to type names and the puzzle will automatically regenerate based on their input.

Step 3: Configure the Puzzle

After adding the element, you can configure the puzzle settings in the right-side panel.

You can also change the font of the letters in the puzzle just like any text layer by clicking Font in the top toolbar and choose your preferred font.
