WordHider is a Macintosh program to create and print “Word Search” puzzles, using vocabulary you provide. It is intended for people who might find Word Search puzzles a useful tool (teachers, etc.), not for “word search enthusiasts”; so it does not have any ability to generate puzzles from a built-in vocabulary for you to solve, nor does it solve puzzles itself.
1.1. Quick Requirements
1.1.1. Systems Requirements
You need a Macintosh computer, or a clone of a Mac, with at least a 68030 processor. (i.e. it will work on any Mac from the Classic-2, Mac-2, or LC series on. That includes all current macs, performas, etc. Separate binaries are available for 68K Macs and Power Macs. The program runs on System 7 and on. It has not been tested on System 6, but will probably work. You need about 3 Meg of Disk space to store the program and associated files, and at least 2 Meg of available RAM to run it.
1.1.2. Legalese
This program and its documentation are placed in limited public domain. I give any individual, or any educational institution or employee thereof permission to copy it and use it freely. It may not be sold for profit, but modest storage and shipping fees may be charged by freeware collection distributors. It may not be modified without permission, and probably wouldn’t work anyway. The author retains the copyright and other property rights, but accepts no liability for the program’s use, and makes no warranty.
This program is not “shareware” and you are not expected to send any money, nor is there a registration function. However, if you send me an email, I’ll do my best to keep you informed of any updates.
