Install
-------

[](#install)

Install via Composer:

```
$ composer require coderubix/wordsearch "^1.0"
```

Usage
-----

[](#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();

```
