README.md

soup is a package for facilitating the creation of word search puzzles (aka alphabet soups) and variations using numbers or other symbols in documents.

A puzzle is a field of random letters in which a set of words are hidden, and the reader seeks to find those words.

A F N H L P
K P L E F T
L P N L U W
G H A L C B
I M D O T F

In the above example soup, two words are hidden: hello and left.

The soup package generates alphabet soups, number soups, and soups built from a user-specified list of symbols.

Dependencies

It relies on the following packages:

  • expl3
  • xparse
  • l3keys2e
  • tikz (unless usetikz=false specified at load)

Dependency on tikz is somewhat optional as the basic features have also been implemented using a tabular environment.
