Anyone have recommendations for how best to make a packet of circle-the-word puzzles? I’ll be using fairly short (5 letters?) English words around various themes as part of an activity packet for elementary-school-aged children.

Thanks in advance.

    I would use a data manipulation language like R or Python with Quarto to generate the LaTeX programmatically. Then the document generation gets separated from the template design. Quarto is a system for generating LaTeX and HTML and docx files. R currently has more data rendering packages than Python, but either can probably do it.

    (I somehow replied with the above to the wrong thread a few days ago. Hope this works.)

    How much automation do you envision? Do you mean a “word search”, the one with a grid of letters and you have to find words going horizontally or vertically etc?
