I’ve put together a couple of PHP scripts to make puzzles. The humble find-a-word, a word scrambler, and a cipher.

The output is just HTML, so you can include them on web-pages if you like (look there’s one over there! :o)

I still need to write a command-line interface, as making a find-a-word large enough to hold every single word in the English dictionary is a bit too much for one page-load.

But hey does that sound fun or what? I’m going to market word-search wallpaper!
