Install

Install via Composer:

$ composer require sanderspaas/word-search "^1.0"

Usage

In English:

use WordSearch\Factory;
use WordSearch\Alphabet\English;

$puzzle = Factory::create(['foo', 'bar'], 15, new English);

In Hebrew with reversing the words:

use WordSearch\Factory;
use WordSearch\Alphabet\Hebrew;

$puzzle = Factory::create(['אבג', 'דהו'], 15, new Hebrew, true);

The Puzzle object contains a toArray method for the puzzle grid and an iterable WordList object with the answers in. You can use these to output the puzzle yourself, or use the HTML transformer.

$transformer = new WordSearch\Transformer\HtmlTransformer($puzzle);
echo $transformer->grid();
echo $transformer->wordList();
