Well, back in high school we would recieve those little word searches on occasion. I remember one day I said to my friend that I was just going to go home and create a program to solve the seek and find for me. A simple, I type everything in and then once done all words inputed would be found as well.

Sadly to say, back then I couldn't do this simple task(even sadder, I've spent the last three hours doing it. It should NOT had taken so long).

It actually works decently good. I kinda dislike how long it takes to input the seek and find itself but oh well.

Anywho, check it out here

and here are some seek and finds you can input.


Hopefully, someone out there will find this useful. Since I'm not in school anymore and I HIGHLY doubt college(if I even go) will have word searches, I doubt I'll ever need this.
I wonder how efficient this can get. The obvious solution gives n^4 rows to scan for nxn text? Circa n^2 runs each?
If I get what your saying then uh, no?

I'm not going to lie, what you said pretty much went completely over my head.

The way it works is you find a word search, contruct it by just typing in the letters and returning for the rows, and then search for your words.

It searches like an astris * more or less. Lift and right, up and down, and diagonals too. 8 angles.
