# How to make a word search book for KDP

Themes, grid size, word lists, difficulty, answer pages and print settings for a word search book.

A word search book is a set of themed puzzles: each page has a grid and a list of words hidden in it. Readers buy them for the themes and the comfortable print.

## Pick themes readers want

One theme per puzzle keeps the book easy to browse: animals, kitchen, travel, a holiday. A book with one big theme (birds, gardening) is easier to describe in the listing than a mixed one.

## Grid and words

- kdpbookai uses a 15 × 15 grid.
- Words are cleaned to letters only and written in capitals.
- Each list has 3–12 letter words, no repeats and no word hidden inside another word of the same list.
- A word that does not fit in the grid is dropped from the list, so the list always matches the grid.
- The hard setting also hides words backwards.

## Answers

Answers go at the back with the words marked, four to a page.

## Print settings

Word search books in kdpbookai have 50–300 pages on 8.5 × 11 in, 8 × 10 in, 7 × 10 in. Coloring and puzzle books are generally not low-content. Publish with an ISBN.

> AI writes the word lists, title and back-cover text from your theme. The back-cover text uses the book's real puzzle count.
