Would be neat if it could make https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderword puzzles, in which the remaining letters spell out a word.

The article links to my github repository for a wordsearch utility I wrote (here: https://github.com/jamis/wordsearch) and it includes a description of a technique for embedding a message in the unused letters of a wordsearch puzzle.

From the article: "(Bonus: the letters left after finding all the words spell out one of my favorite features of Ruby…)"

So it's clearly been done. Or did I misunderstand something?
