What the Thanksgiving mode sets for you
Thanksgiving word lists
Word search, word scramble, missing vowels, missing vowel word search and cryptogram books start with Thanksgiving word lists: Thanksgiving Foods, Festival Foods and Baking Terms. Kids books get child-friendly lists such as Thanksgiving Foods, Festival Foods and Farm Animals.
Holiday colors and title font
Titles, grid lines and shading print in rust titles, dark brown grid lines, cream shading and amber highlights, and puzzle titles use the Lobster font (“Thanksgiving Sudoku 1”). Large Print books keep their readable font. Numbers and letters stay black, so the book stays readable in black and white.
Thanksgiving mazes
Mazes keep the classic rectangle with Thanksgiving titles and colors. Kids mazes have wide paths, start and finish icons and exactly one route.
Thanksgiving nonograms
Nonogram books, zebra and triangle nonograms included, start with the picture library's Thanksgiving pictures, such as turkey, maple leaf and mushroom, and fill the rest of the book with everyday pictures, each with one solution.
Intro and thank-you pages
The book comes with a Thanksgiving intro page and a “Happy Thanksgiving!” thank-you page, already written in the holiday font and colors. Keep them or write your own.
Thanksgiving line art
The editor offers 8 Thanksgiving line art pictures, such as a turkey, a pumpkin pie and an acorn, before the everyday ones, and the image search starts with Thanksgiving pictures.

When should I publish a Thanksgiving puzzle book?
Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November and its books sell through October and November, so publish by early October. Amazon reviews a new paperback in up to 72 hours, but a book needs time to be found, so leave a few weeks before the holiday.

The free trial includes all of them.
Can I sell Thanksgiving puzzle 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 Thanksgiving 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. The Thanksgiving titles, intro and thank-you texts are translated too; the holiday word lists are English, so for word puzzles import your own words in that language. Texts you write yourself are not translated, so write them in the book's language. Starter and Pro books are printed in English.
