**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.
