Find the Words
The Find the Words content type generates a word-search grid where the student finds hidden vocabulary terms. The AI generates the word list and the grid, with the vocabulary to find visible next to it.
AI-generated configuration
| Setting | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of words | How many words are hidden in the grid. | An exact requested amount is generated exactly, with no documented cap (e.g. 12 or 30) | 6 to 12 when no exact amount is requested |
| Word list | The vocabulary to find, shown next to the grid. | Visible | Visible |
| Retry button | Lets the student try the activity again. | Enabled | Enabled |
| Show solution button | Reveals where every word is in the grid. | Enabled | Enabled |
Generated content
- A set of single-term words (no spaces), all placeable and findable in the generated grid.
- The visible vocabulary list beside the grid.
Rules and behavior
- Words must be a single term without spaces: compound concepts are discarded or adapted, so asking for phrases will not produce phrases in the grid.
- The type has no documented word cap, so a high exact amount (e.g. 30) is generated exactly, without trimming.
- Every generated word must be findable in the grid and coherent with the requested topic.
- The activity is scored, and the result integrates with the Moodle gradebook.
