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