How it works

  1. 01

    Configure

    Pick a KDP trim size, add sections for Sudoku, word searches, mazes or Samurai, and set counts and difficulty.

  2. 02

    Generate and verify

    Every puzzle is generated on your device, then checked by separate code: one solution for Sudoku, every word present in word searches, a path through every maze.

  3. 03

    Check and download

    Run the KDP checks (gutter, margins, even page count, embedded fonts), then export the interior PDF.

What you get

Seven KDP trim sizes
5 × 8 through 8.5 × 11, written at the exact dimensions KDP expects.
Gutter set for you
The inside margin follows KDP's page-count table and widens as the book grows.
Even page counts
A blank final leaf is added when needed, because KDP rejects odd counts.
Pre-upload checks
Margins, gutter, page count, fonts and bleed, checked against your finished book.
Four puzzle engines
Sudoku, word search, maze and Samurai Sudoku, each with its own solver.
Machine validation
Nothing enters a book until its own validator passes. The counts you see are real.
Automatic solutions
A solutions section is built for you, numbered to match the puzzles exactly.
Vector PDF, no account
Sharp at any zoom, generated in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Made for people who publish

PuzzlePress is built for KDP self-publishers first, and works just as well for teachers, homeschool educators and anyone selling printables. It produces the interior manuscript. Cover design is not included in this version.
