Word search puzzle book maker for KDP and e-ink
Word search is a familiar puzzle, and you can mix it into a logic book as a lighter extra. Choose themes such as animals, garden, baking, ocean, space or travel, and the levels that fit your readers.
Set the trim size and the number of puzzles. You get the grids, the word lists, the answer key and a Verification report in one PDF. The free 12-puzzle sample has a watermark and needs no account. The word lists are in English.
12 puzzles with your settings, watermarked, no account. Full books from $9 a month.
Why the proof matters here
A word search goes wrong when a listed word appears in the grid more than once. The reader finds it in a different place from the answer key, or finds no match for the circled one and thinks the page is broken. Gridbinder checks every puzzle so that each listed word appears in the grid exactly once, and the Verification report records it for every page.
Books end with a Verification report (on unless you switch it off): each puzzle with its level and size, the number of solutions a complete search found, and, for every type with a step-by-step solver, how it finished the puzzle.
Book ideas: A themed word search book for kids, one theme per section; A large print word search book for seniors; A mixed book with word search as the warm-up between logic puzzles.
How to solve, as printed in the book
Find every word from the list in the grid. Words run in straight lines across, down or diagonally.
On Hard and Challenge puzzles words may also run backwards. Every listed word appears in the grid exactly once.
