A puzzle book made from their own family
Type the grandkids’ names, the pets, the old street and the favorite pie. We build a large print puzzle book around them: word searches, fill-ins, a crossword from your own clues, an answer key and gift tags. You see a preview before you pay, and the printable PDF is ready in about a minute. Nothing ships, so it works even on Christmas Eve.
Good to know
- Your words never leave your computer: the puzzle is made right here in your browser.
- Need bingo cards? The free bingo card generator makes different cards from your words, pictures or numbers 1-75, in large print too, and your Puzzle Maker Pro license unlocks up to 500 cards there.
- Every word search is checked so each word appears exactly once, every crossword so words only cross where the letters match, and every fill-in and sudoku so it has exactly one solution.
- Making a gift? The personalized puzzle book maker turns your family’s words into a whole large print book, and the custom crossword maker makes a framed-print crossword, both as instant PDFs.
