Is there any program or utility to make the names are put together like a puzzle?

There is a video that uses word and then adds keys with a pencil.

I use Inkscape just like this but I add the keys in Inkscape. 

If this is not the type of puzzle you are looking for let me know.

Pretty much any word processor can do it. Pick your font and size and change the kerning until they touch or overlap as you desire. You don't need to draw the keys. Cut them freehand and be sure they are shaped to lock the pieces together.

hello exactly

Is there any program or utility to make the names join together like a puzzle?

Names joined like a puzzle, in the example of the image what I want is that the unions between the letters of the name be made automatically.

I make them in corel. But I have to do many and with different fonts and sizes, this is solved by scaling. I wanted to see if there was something that would make it automatic.
