How do word searches get featured

Submitted by Wizzandy on March 13, 2026
Hi everyone, I made a wordsearch about british cities that i think is pretty feature worthy, but i dont know how they get featured and what the criteria is. Can anybody tell me?
New and Popular
Sometimes it won't come immediately, I've seen puzzles that got featured weeks after they were published.
Generally, I am looking for:
- A nice theme that is different and fairly generic
- Suitable words for that theme (e.g. if you're doing a puzzle about cities, it should be at least half cities people would know)
- A dense and well-structured grid. This means having few gaps leftover and having many intersections between words. This makes puzzles more interesting.
I've been making word searches for over 10 years now, as some of ny very first quizzes on JetPunk were word searches. So I'm pretty clued up on what works and what looks good.
And finally, asking for features or begging just encourages me to ignore you and your puzzles. Same goes for QM and quizzes. If your content is good enough then it will be show for itself.
Also note, I am only showing 1 puzzle a day on the front page, which means I have to be quite selective in what I feature!
