Printable PDF in one click
No editor and no account: choose your options and the PDF downloads straight away, in US Letter or A4.
Restore, then find
The word list prints each word without its vowels (P_NC_L). Solvers write the word back, then find it in the letter grid.
Your own words
Type a spelling list or vocabulary — one word per line or separated by commas — and it becomes the word search.
Only one right answer
Words like C_T that could be CAT, COT or CUT are left out, and every word hides exactly once in the grid.
For kids and adults
Kids puzzles keep the first letter and run only right and down; Hard puzzles hide longer words in all eight directions.

Free missing vowel word search generator FAQ
What is a missing vowel word search?
A word search whose word list has the vowels taken out: PENCIL prints as P_NC_L. The solver works out each word, then finds and circles it in the letter grid — spelling practice and a word search in one.
Is this missing vowel word search generator really free?
Yes. No account, no credit card and no watermark across the puzzles — just a small source line at the bottom of each page.
Can I use my own spelling words?
Yes. Choose My own words and type 4 to 20 words (12 for kids), one per line or separated by commas. Words without a vowel to remove, too long for the grid or that could also be read as another word are left out and counted under the list.
Can I print the worksheets for my class or family?
Yes. The free PDFs are for personal and classroom use: print as many copies as you like for your family, students or residents.
Can I sell these puzzles or publish them on Amazon KDP?
Not the free ones — they are for personal and classroom use only. For books you sell, create a missing vowel word search book in Wisdom Effect: books generated on paid plans and with credit packs come with a full commercial license.
Do the puzzles come with answers?
Yes. An answer page with every word marked in the grid is added by default; switch it off if you only want the puzzles.
