About
Clue Search Puzzles began in the Spring of 2002 in Belleville, Illinois, USA as an idea to create poster-sized word search puzzles and sell them over the internet. After eleven years of engineering and creating drawings for the aviation industry, Todd Bailey took his drafting experience, and an ongoing interest in home businesses and self-employment, and set out to find a product that could be created digitally and distributed over the internet.
A trip to the local grocery store revealed a large local interest in trivia games and word puzzles, specifically crosswords and word search puzzles. Thinking that a poster-sized word search puzzle would make a great novelty, he set out to create his first word search poster, an 800-term word search poster of College Terms. This launched his first word search puzzle website: www.PuzzlingPosters.com. PuzzlingPosters met with limited success, mostly due to the difficulty in marketing to a broad consumer base with a limited advertising budget.
Then one day his wife came home from work and related a conversation she’d had with an English teacher about word puzzles. She said that a crossword or word search puzzle in itself is not especially useful in a classroom, but if there were a way to incorporate vocabulary terms or teach something interesting with a word puzzle, she might be interested.
By combining the format of printable crossword puzzles, the hint from the teacher, adding a hidden term, and organizing them in an interesting format, Clue Search Puzzles™ was born! After months of research, development, trial, and error, these unique puzzles are now available to you exclusively at www.ClueSearchPuzzles.com.
