Install

Install via Composer:

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

Usage

In English:

$puzzle = WordSearch\Factory::create(['foo', 'bar']);

In Finnish, with a custom grid size:

$puzzle = WordSearch\Factory::create(
    ['mansikka', 'omena', banaani'],
    10,
    'fi'
);

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();
