Shaped grids
Place words inside a heart, star, tree, egg, circle or diamond. The cells outside the outline are masked away, so the puzzle itself takes the shape.

What the upgrade adds
Seven extras, all built in
Deluxe is not a different program to learn. It is the same one-file app with a deeper set of tools, so everything you already know still works.
2
Hidden messages
Type a phrase and the letters left over once the words are placed spell it out in reading order — a second puzzle hidden inside the first.
3
Clue hunts
Give a clue instead of the word, and let the solver work out what to look for. Three ready-made clue packs are included, or write your own.
4
Kids & large-print editions
Fewer words, bigger letters and simpler directions for younger solvers, or a large-print layout with a smaller grid for older eyes.
5
Full-wrap cover generator
Front, spine and back on one sheet at the exact size for your trim and page count, with bleed and a clear area reserved for the barcode. Choose from 33 cover themes, 17 motifs and 7 title text styles.
6
Bulk book builder
Type one line per book and build a whole shelf in a single pass. Each book gets its own title page, how-to-play page and answer keys.
7
Tag & keyword helper
Turn the theme you typed into draft Etsy tags and up to seven KDP-style keyword phrases, plus title ideas and a description starter.
+
And the rest
Exact-size printing on Letter, A4, 6 × 9, 5.5 × 8.5 and square, decorative borders, difficulty settings and answer keys throughout.
Real output
See what it builds
These previews are drawn from the app’s own output, so what you see here is what lands on the page.
Standard word searches
Start from one of 24 built-in themes — about 280 words each, nearly 6,700 in all — or paste your own list. The app places every word in one of eight directions, then fills the gaps with random letters. A hidden or shaped style changes only the layout, never the rules.
- 24 ready-made themes, about 6,700 words
- Every word placed, grid sized to fit
- Left, right, up, down and both diagonals
- Words are never split or wrapped
Hidden messages
Give the app a phrase and it threads the leftover letters through the grid in reading order. The puzzle works exactly as normal — the message is simply waiting in the letters nobody circles.
- Your phrase, spelled out in the spare cells
- Works with any theme or word list
- Ideal for a gift, a party game or a last page
Shaped grids
Six outlines — heart, star, tree, egg, circle and diamond. Words are placed only in the drawn area and the rest of the grid is removed, so a puzzle can carry a theme all by itself.
- Useful for Valentine’s, Christmas and Easter books
- Picks a grid size that fits the shape
- Answers still sit at the back of the book
Answer keys
Every book ends with a set of answer pages. Each solution is drawn straight through the letters, so a glance is enough to check the work — no second copy of the puzzle to compare against.
- Solution lines drawn on a miniature grid
- Four or six answers to a page, cleanly spaced
- Included in every book the app builds
Cover generator
A full wrap, measured for you
Give the app a title, a subtitle, an author, a blurb and your page count. It works out the spine from the paper type, adds the bleed around every edge and lays the whole thing out as one print-ready sheet — front, spine and back together.
Thirty-three cover themes, seventeen background motifs and seven title text styles are included, so a shelf of books does not look like one template repeated. A clear rectangle is reserved at the foot of the back cover for the barcode, and the text keeps a safe margin from the trim.
How the spine is worked out
spine (in) = pages × 0.002252 white paper
spine (in) = pages × 0.002500 cream paper
120 pages, white → 0.270 in spine
full wrap = 2 × 8.5 + 0.270 + 2 × 0.125 bleeding
→ 17.520 × 11.250 in
spine (in) = pages × 0.002500 cream paper
120 pages, white → 0.270 in spine
full wrap = 2 × 8.5 + 0.270 + 2 × 0.125 bleeding
→ 17.520 × 11.250 in
Paper weights and printing practices differ. Always compare the finished file against the current template for your printer, trim size and page count before you upload, and adjust the page count in the app if the printer asks for it.
Two real full-wrap covers built in Deluxe. Each one is a single sheet — back, spine and front — measured for the trim and page count, with the barcode area left clear.
Bulk builder & listing helper
One line per book, a shelf in a pass
Write a list — Christmas Word Searches | Christmas — and Deluxe builds each book in turn, with its own title page, how-to-play page, puzzles and answer keys. Preview any book on its own, or print the whole shelf into a single PDF with each title starting on a fresh page.
The tag helper then drafts a listing for you: thirteen Etsy-style tags of twenty characters or fewer, up to seven keyword phrases, a handful of title ideas and a description starter. It is a way to save typing — you still decide what to publish and how to describe it.
- Themes matched by name, or your own word lists
- Standard and hidden-message puzzles in bulk
- Everything generated on your device

What Deluxe is — and what it is not
Deluxe is a fast, private tool for making puzzle books. It saves you time on the fiddly parts: placing words, laying out pages, sizing a cover, checking answers. That is all it does, and it does it well.
To be straight with you, it does not:
- upload anything to Amazon, KDP, Etsy or any other shop — you publish by hand;
- write your listing, choose your niche or design your brand for you;
- promise sales, rankings, reviews, approvals or any particular result;
- need an account, a subscription, an internet connection or an AI key;
- send anything you type anywhere. The file runs in your browser and stays there.
People who make puzzle books sell very different numbers of them. Some sell none. What you build and how you market it is entirely up to you. This is a tool, not a business in a box.
Side by side
Deluxe against the standard app
Deluxe is sold as an upgrade. You can run it on its own, but it is designed to sit alongside the books you already build.

Questions
Before you buy
Do I need the main app for Deluxe to work?
No. Deluxe is a complete, standalone file with its own theme library. It is sold as an upgrade because it builds on the same idea, and it sits happily alongside the books you already make — but it does not need anything else to run.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Once the file is on your device it opens and runs with no network at all. There is nothing to sign into and nothing to activate.
Do I need an AI subscription or an API key?
No. Every puzzle is generated by the app itself, on your computer. There is no AI service involved and no key to enter.
Is anything I type sent anywhere?
No. The page makes no third-party requests. Your themes, titles, blurbs and word lists stay in your browser.
Will this help me sell books?
It can save you time making books and writing a listing, which is part of the work. It cannot promise sales, rankings, reviews or approvals, and it will not upload anything to a shop for you. How well a book does depends on the market, the cover, the listing and your own effort — none of which we control.
What do I need to actually publish a book?
A print-on-demand account (such as KDP) or a printer, a shop or marketplace account, and the time to write your listing and upload your files. Deluxe gives you the interior and the cover; you supply the rest. It is not affiliated with Amazon, Kindle Direct Publishing or Etsy.
Which page sizes are supported?
Letter (8.5 × 11 in), A4, 6 × 9 in, 5.5 × 8.5 in and 8.5 × 8.5 in square. The cover generator uses the same trim you choose, plus the page count, to work out the spine.
What is the refund policy?
You may request a refund within 14 days of purchase. The full terms are in our Refund Policy.
How do I get help?
Email our support address and we will reply as soon as we can. Please include your order reference.
