How to Make a Word Search Book for KDP
Choose a word bank
In KDP Creator, pick one of the built-in themed word banks (animals, sports, holidays and more). Custom word lists are available in the free single-puzzle tool above.
Set difficulty & count
Choose Easy, Medium or Hard (one difficulty per book) and how many puzzles to include, up to 200.
Download your pages
You get a ZIP of numbered 300-DPI page images, puzzles and solutions in order, sized for 5×8, 5.5×8.5, 6×9 or 8.5×11. Place them into your KDP interior file, set your gutter margins and upload.
Word Search Generator FAQs
Are the word search puzzles unique?▾
Each puzzle is generated with its own random word placement and filler letters, so puzzles differ even with the same settings. Your book's title, theme and presentation are still up to you, and KDP reviews every book under its own content guidelines.
Does it include solution pages?▾
Yes. Every book from KDP Creator includes numbered solution pages with the answers highlighted. The free generator shows the answers on the same puzzle with a toggle.
What do I actually download?▾
From the free generator on this page, a single PNG of the puzzle — or of the answer grid if you have answers showing. From the paid KDP builder, a ZIP of numbered 300-DPI PNG pages sized for your trim, puzzles and solutions in order, plus a manifest. You assemble those into the interior PDF you upload to KDP; it is not produced for you.
How many words go in one puzzle?▾
The free generator places 8 words in an 11×11 grid on Easy, 12 in a 15×15 on Medium and 18 in a 19×19 on Hard. Paste more than that and it picks from your list; anything too long for the grid is reported rather than silently dropped.
Can I create books with a specific theme for a niche?▾
In the free generator you can paste any custom word list — dog breeds, US states, Bible terms, cooking ingredients. Books from KDP Creator cycle through its built-in themed word banks.
Is the free generator really free?▾
Yes — unlimited puzzles, no account, and it runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded. What it will not do is build a whole book: paired solution pages, KDP trim sizes, a seeded manifest and up to 200 puzzles in one run are the paid KDP builder.
