Mixed puzzle book FAQ
What is a mixed puzzle book?
A variety or activity book with several kinds of puzzles in one volume, each in its own chapter: for example word searches, then sudokus, then mazes, with all answer keys at the end.
Which puzzle types can a mixed book contain?
Sudoku, Word Search, Maze, Word Scramble, Cryptogram, Wordoku and Missing Vowels. A mixed book needs at least two chapters, in any order you choose.
Which plans include mixed books?
Every plan, with the puzzle types it includes: Starter mixes Sudoku, Word Search, Maze and Missing Vowels, Pro adds Word Scramble and Cryptogram, and Publisher adds Wordoku. The free trial includes all seven.
How many credits does a mixed book cost?
One credit per puzzle, as in a single-type book; the hardest sudoku levels (Insane, Nightmare, Inferno) cost 2 or 3. Four chapters of 15 puzzles cost 60 credits.
Where are the answers?
All answer keys come at the end of the book, chapter by chapter in the same order as the puzzles. Puzzle and solution numbers start again in each chapter.
Can I make a kids or large print activity book?
Yes. Pick the Kids or Senior edition before you choose the Mixed Book card, and every chapter uses its kids or large print settings.
Can I sell mixed books made with Wisdom Effect on Amazon KDP?
Yes. Books generated on paid plans and with credit packs include a full commercial license, and you keep 100% of your royalties.
Can I make mixed puzzle books in German, French, Spanish, Japanese or other languages?
Yes, on the Publisher plan and in the free trial. Pick one of 10 book languages, one for each Amazon marketplace: English (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca, amazon.com.au, amazon.in), German (amazon.de), French (amazon.fr), Spanish (amazon.es, amazon.com.mx), Italian (amazon.it), Dutch (amazon.nl), Brazilian Portuguese (amazon.com.br), Japanese (amazon.co.jp), Polish (amazon.pl), Swedish (amazon.se). Wisdom Effect then prints the texts it writes into the book in that language: puzzle and solution titles, chapter headings, the table of contents, difficulty labels, the copyright page (10 legal templates), the intro and thank-you pages and the labels on the puzzle pages, seasonal editions included. Chapter titles in the table of contents follow the book language too. Texts you write yourself are not translated, so write them in the book's language. Starter and Pro books are printed in English.
