Building your puzzle…

Free and unlimited, no account. Every puzzle is built in your browser from the 54-word cats list, so the same page gives a different sheet each time you press New puzzle.

Which difficulty to print

The levels differ in one thing: how long the words are. Easy draws 15 words of three to six letters, which a child can often solve by reading the letters aloud. Medium takes 18 words of five to nine. Hard takes 20 of seven to twelve, where the letter count alone stops being a hint and the theme is what gets you in. If a sheet comes out with fewer rows than the label promises, this theme simply has fewer words that long — the puzzle is still complete.

Printing it well

Print puts the puzzle on one sheet with the controls hidden. Print it once with answers off, then press Answers and print again for the key — that order gives you a clean puzzle and a separate answer sheet rather than a spoiled one. The PNG is rendered at three times screen size, and the answer file saves under its own name so the two never get mixed up.

Using these in a book you sell

Puzzles generated here are yours to use, including in a book you publish. What this page will not do is build the book: a paperback needs dozens of puzzles at a fixed trim size with paired solution pages and consistent margins. KDP Creator does that part — and hands back numbered 300-DPI PNG pages plus a manifest, not a finished PDF, so you assemble the interior yourself. The royalty calculator prices it before you commit.
