Puzzle Studio
Unique sudoku, word search, crossword, mazes & dots — with auto-paginated answer keys.
Puzzle books look simple from the outside, but the production work is brutal: generating unique puzzles, formatting answer keys, paginating consistently, and not getting rejected by KDP. Puzzle Studio handles all five puzzle types end-to-end — unique grids every time, large-print presets for the senior market, and a print-ready PDF in minutes instead of an afternoon.
Built for puzzle studio
Every detail of this studio is tuned for the way these books are written, illustrated, and printed on Amazon KDP — not retrofitted from a generic chat tool.
Sudoku 4×4 to 16×16
Easy, medium, hard, expert, and evil difficulties — each grid uniquely seeded and solvable.
Themed word search & crossword
Word search around any theme; crossword with auto-generated clue lists you can edit.
Mazes & connect-the-dots
Square, circular, and arrow mazes; dot-to-dot puzzles tuned by age range.
Large-print presets
Bigger cells, larger fonts, and high-contrast rendering for the senior-living market.
Auto-paginated answer keys
Answer keys generated automatically and ordered at the back — no manual pagination.
KDP-ready PDF
8.5×11 / 6×9 / 8.5×8.5 trims with correct bleed and 300 DPI rendering.

Frequently asked questions
Are the puzzles actually unique each time?
Yes. Every sudoku, word search, crossword, and maze is generated from scratch with a unique seed — never templated, never duplicated. Two books with the same theme contain entirely different puzzles.
Do answer keys come included?
Yes. Answer keys are generated automatically and auto-paginated at the back of the book in the order they're presented. You never paginate them manually.
Can I make large-print puzzle books for seniors?
Yes — the large-print preset bumps grid cell size, font size, and contrast to the standards seniors expect. Works for sudoku, word search, and crosswords.
Which puzzle types are supported?
Sudoku (4×4 to 16×16, easy to evil), word search (custom themes), crossword (themed clue lists), mazes (square, circular, and arrow), and connect-the-dots.
Does the PDF pass KDP print review?
Yes. 8.5×11 / 6×9 / 8.5×8.5 trims with correct margins, bleed, and 300 DPI rendering. We test against KDP's printable file review.
