Puzzle Generation

Guaranteed Uniqueness

Every Sudoku is permanently retired from our library once exported, ensuring no two publishers ever receive the same puzzle boards. Word Searches are dynamically generated with procedural matrix placements and random filler entropy, plus full support for custom vocabulary.

Grid Sizes

Choose from Classic 9x9, or branch out with 4x4 and 6x6 (perfect for Kids Mode) and 16x16 for hardcore experts.

Difficulty Levels

Seven levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Master, plus Insane, Nightmare and Inferno for experts (the hardest levels cost 2–3 credits per puzzle).

Mixed Difficulties

Include multiple difficulty levels within a single book to provide a progressive challenge for your readers.

Maze Books

Maze Styles

Classic depth-first mazes with long winding corridors, evenly branched Kruskal mazes and dead-end-rich Prim mazes.

Shapes

Classic rectangles, circular mazes (rings around a center finish) and heart, star, Christmas tree, house, diamond and egg silhouettes.

Size & Difficulty

Rectangular grids from 5x5 to 100x100 cells with Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert presets. The configurator shows the printed corridor width and warns when it gets too narrow.

Loops & Start/Finish

Add loops for several possible routes, choose corner-to-corner, top-to-bottom or left-to-right openings, and pick text, arrow or icon markers.

Book Codes

Every maze book has a book code. The same code always prints the same mazes, every book of a series gets new ones, and the solution pages show the shortest path.

Word Scramble Books

Word Sources

Curated themes (900+ topics) or your own CSV list: Title,Word,Hint,Secret — rows with the same title become one puzzle.

Lengths & Rules

Choose the shortest and longest word and words per puzzle. Scrambles never repeat the original word or spell another real word unless you allow anagrams; Easy keeps the first letter.

Boxes, Clues & Secret Word

Print letter boxes or writing lines, clues under each word, and a secret word hidden in highlighted boxes.

Book Codes

Every word scramble book has a book code: the same code always prints the same puzzles, and every book of a series gets new ones.

Missing Vowels Books

Word Sources

Curated themes (900+ topics) or your own CSV list: Title,Word,Hint — rows with the same title become one puzzle. Words without a vowel to remove, with too few letters left or outside your lengths are listed with the reason.

Print Styles

Gaps (G_RD_N, a box for every missing vowel) or consonants only (GRDN) with one box per letter or a writing line. Presets go from Easy (first letter and vowel bank) to Expert; Y can count as a vowel.

One Right Answer

Easy, Medium, Kids and Large Print puzzles skip words whose gaps also fit another word (C_T = CAT, COT, CUT), checked against the theme dictionary and your own words. No puzzle prints the same gaps twice.

Clues & Editions

Print the missing vowels next to each word and your clues under it; answer keys highlight the restored vowels. Kids books use 3–6 letter words, Senior books large boxes. 1 puzzle (up to 25 words) = 1 credit, on every plan.

Cryptogram Books

Text Sources

Curated themes as word lists (900+ topics) or your own texts: one per line, or a CSV with Title,Text,Author. Texts need 25–250 letters; use your own words or public-domain quotes.

Ciphers

Aristocrat (word breaks kept), Patristocrat (groups of five) and shift codes, printed as cipher letters or number codes 1–26, with a random or keyword alphabet.

Exactly One Solution

A solver checks every cryptogram against a dictionary and reveals extra letters until only one reading is left. The Book Check shows the result and every text line that cannot be used.

Hints & Editions

Choose the revealed letters, print the author or theme as a clue and add an A–Z key strip. Kids books use shift codes with the key shown; Senior books use large print, one puzzle per page.

Wordoku Books

Letters & Hidden Word

Every wordoku uses the different letters of one word instead of numbers (9 letters for 9×9, 6 for 6×6, 4 for 4×4), and one row of the solution spells that word.

Word Sources

A built-in kid-safe word list, or your own words — one per line, up to 200. Words with the wrong length or a repeated letter are listed with the reason; your words are used in your order.

Difficulty = Sudoku

Every wordoku is a sudoku of our puzzle bank with letters instead of numbers: the same 7 levels from Easy to Inferno, the same credits per level, exactly one solution and never used in another book.

Hints & Editions

Print the letter bank (A–Z, never the word itself), "one row spells a hidden word" or the row number. Answer keys highlight the word row in your color. Kids books use 4×4 and 6×6 grids; Senior books use large print 9×9.

Book Language (Publisher)

Puzzle and solution titles, chapter headings, contents, difficulty labels, the copyright, intro and thank-you pages switch to that language. Texts you type yourself and your word lists stay as they are, so write them in the book's language; word puzzles use the letters A to Z.
