How do you make a word search puzzle?

Im trying to make a word search puzzle but I cant figure out what to do. I tried other tutorials but it only makes the text jumbled and I dont know how to select the words. and how to make certain words correct

Here is an word search example to try Crossword puzzle - #14 by Juan_Antonio that might be helpful.

Or by word search, do you mean the kind where you are given random letters in rows and columns and you have to circle rows, columns, and diagonals that include words?

For that kind of puzzle, you build it by working from lists of words (Google is your friend), and linking them together on the empty grid so they cross at common letters, then filling in the blanks with random letters.

P.S. I had the wrong idea of the Juan_Antonio solution by its title (Crossword). It actually is a word search, on examination. Around here, crossword means numbered squares and external hint lists covering every horizontal and vertical word.
