Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?

Yes. Generating, printing, and downloading individual puzzles with answer keys is completely free, with no signup and no watermark on the puzzle itself. The one-time Pro upgrade is only needed for bulk packs and commercial publishing.

Can I use the puzzles in my classroom, therapy group, or care home?

Absolutely — that's what this tool is for. Print and share freely for personal, classroom, therapy, and activity use.

Can I sell books made with these puzzles (Amazon KDP, Etsy)?

Yes, with the Pro license. It covers commercial use in puzzle books, printables you sell, and activity packs, and adds KDP trim sizes plus 10–50 puzzle bulk generation.

Are the puzzles always different?

Yes — each puzzle is generated from a random seed, giving hundreds of thousands of unique combinations. The puzzle number is printed on every page, so you can recreate the exact same puzzle by typing its number.

Do the puzzles work for people with dementia or low vision?

The Easy level was designed with activity professionals in mind: fewer objects, larger art, and bold obvious changes (a removed object, a clear color change). Start there and move up as it suits the person.

Why do the two pictures sometimes look identical?

They never are! The number of differences is shown above the puzzle. If you're stuck, toggle "Show answers" or check the answer key page in the PDF.
