    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.* ;

    public class WordSearchPuzzle
    {
    private char[][] puzzle ;
    private ArrayList<String> puzzleWords ;

    public WordSearchPuzzle(String[] args)
    {
    // puzzle generation using user specified words
    // The user passes in a list of words to be used
    // for generating the word search grid.
    }


    Hello im having great difficulty with this. I am finding it hard to figure out how to store a list of user defined words so i can later use to put into a 2d grid for a word Search
    Any Help would be appreciated

    What bit are you stuck on? Is your list of words supplied in the arraylist and you have to populate a 2d array?

    When we run the program the user has to enter in X number of Strings and they should be stored so they can be used in a later method to find the longest word entered in and be multiplied it by whatever number to make the 2d grid to ensure the words fit into the grid
