Dell Was Publishing Word-Search Books By 1978
Word searches were becoming an established publishing category by the late 1970s. A Dell publication titled Word Search Puzzles Address Book was published on November 1, 1978. The 96-page book was compiled from puzzles that had previously appeared in Dell's word-search magazines and smaller purse-sized editions. It is an early documented example of word searches moving from magazine pages into dedicated collections.

Dell's Word-Search Series Kept Growing
Dell Publishing was producing numbered word-search collections by the early 1980s. Its Twenty-First Dell Word Search Puzzles was published in September 1981 and contained 128 pages. Reaching a twenty-first installment suggests that the series had become a substantial publishing operation, rather than a one-time experiment.

Word Searches Became Part Of A Larger Puzzle-Magazine Business
Dell was not alone in the puzzle-magazine business. Penny Press, founded in 1973 by Penny and William Kanter after they purchased a struggling crossword-magazine company, expanded its offerings over the years. The combined publishing business eventually included many kinds of puzzles, from crosswords and fill-ins to word searches and other word games.
