Help with school task

Hey guys, Ill be brief.

Remember those word searches you did on a piece of paper where you find a list of words in a block of 'random' letters? The program's objective is the same.

I need help with the interface on which this block of letters will be placed on.

Initially, I thought of a simple borderless table and then you would be able to select(and Highlight) letters. I ran into the wall that JTable doesn't support multiple unrelated cell selection, such as (1;2) and (2;4). What could alternative be?

It needs to be dynamic as the list of words will be pulled from a file, and then generated by the program, and then the interface from that.

Any suggestions, comment welcome. Thanks

I'd probably just extend JPanel and override the paintComponent() method. But there is more than one way to do this.
