WordSearch 4 Lite is an app that lets you create word search puzzles. Those are the puzzles that you often see in the newspaper. The app is free, but there is a paid version that doesn't limit the size of the puzzles that you can export and print. The first thing that you have to do to create your puzzle is add the words you want it to contain. For each word, you can add a clue. You don't have to, though.
The first window that appears when you start the app is where you create your puzzles. It consists of two columns: one for words and the other one for their respective clues. You can sort your words in many different ways and even use the search feature to easily find words. After you are done with adding words, you can generate your puzzle by clicking on "Create WordSearch". The next window that appears will contain your puzzle, along with some advanced options. Here you can change the size of the word search puzzle, set the minimum and maximum word length, change the font size used and set the directions in which the words can be placed (diagonally, vertically, or horizontally). After you are done, you can either print or export the puzzle.

Opening of both object and png files is now possible by drag and drop in the Shape editor.
A new column has been added to the input table in the main window to allow words to be excluded from the word search creation.
Three new sort criteria have been added.
1) Words with clues can be sorted to the top of the table
2) Excluded words can be sorted to the top of the table
3) Excluded words can be sorted to the bottom of the table
The font set in the preferences for the word column in the input table now also applies to the font of the length column in the table.
