The starter and example are shared. Customize your own content and presentation; generated puzzles are not guaranteed exclusive.

Four activities in one starter

• 8 mazes: a mix of easy and medium settings.
• 6 word searches: example themes including pirates, toys and dinosaurs.
• 6 mini Sudoku: 6 × 6 grids with easy settings, two per puzzle page.
• 3 word scrambles: example word lists for toys, school and ice cream.

The book also includes front matter, section dividers and solutions. The published example has 34 pages; changing puzzles or layout can change that total.

Adapt the activities before choosing an age label

This is a production starter, not a curriculum or an age-rating assessment. Review reading level, vocabulary, grid size, instructions and writing space. Try representative activities with the intended audience before describing the finished book as appropriate for a particular age or grade.

From mixed starter to your own activity book

1. Open the project and change the printed title and author.
2. Review each section and remove or replace activities that do not fit your theme or readers.
3. Inspect the puzzles and their numbered solutions, then export the watermarked proof.
4. Print a test copy at actual size and correct awkward spacing or confusing instructions.
5. For a commercial product, review content rights and marketplace requirements before exporting and listing your finished files.

Can I use it for Etsy or classroom packs?

Yes, the Studio can assemble printable packs as well as book interiors. This particular starter uses 8 × 10 inches. For home printing, choose a suitable page size and inspect the resulting layout. The Etsy pack starter and teacher starter already use US Letter.

What is not included?

This starter contains generated puzzles, not a colouring-page or illustration library. PuzzleBindery does not validate educational outcomes, find a profitable niche or publish to a marketplace for you.

What changes when I buy Pro?

You can build and inspect a watermarked interior proof free. Pro unlocks clean book exports and commercial use under the licence terms. PuzzleBindery takes no per-book royalty; marketplace fees, printing costs and applicable taxes remain separate. Buying a licence does not guarantee publishing acceptance or sales.

For print publishing, check the final interior, cover and page count together. Use the page-count calculator for planning and the cover calculator for dimensions, then inspect the actual final files.
