This is a fun one. I asked ChatGPT to create a word search using words Shakespeare invented. Like most queries, no matter how convoluted or unusual, it happily says, “Sure! I can do that.” It even corrected my assumption, saying “credited with inventing” rather than “invented.” Nice. Here’s what it gave me:

I don’t know about anybody else, but my first thought was, “How did Tybalt’s ass get in there??”
Spend a few minutes looking at all the prominent and primarily Shakespearean words you can find. I see sleepless, self-love, enamored, and moonbeam, to name a few.
Ready, though? Here’s the challenge. Here are the words that ChatGPT claims it hid in the puzzle. I don’t think I can find any of them:
Amazement Bedazzle Champion Eventful Fashionable Inherit Manager Obscene Perusal Scuffle Swagger Torture Unaware Undress Worthless
When I asked it for an answer, it told me some words can be found in row 24. This puzzle appears to be 17×19.
I still like it for its uniqueness. It’s like refrigerator poetry. Evermore refuse, scullery shortcake. Moonbeam stalking, invented archaic. Lily-livered Frank.
