Follow me on my journey as I navigate through self-publishing. Posting regularly hints, tips and tricks on the methods I use that have given me success.
Ben, Great video but do you only produce I grid to use for all of the crosswords or can you have a choice in grids? I can't imagine using the same grid over and over again but with different clues and answers?
Good video: QUESTION: Why did you select PNG format? As far as I know this would not be sufficiently high quality for professional printing (300). I see the SVG option...seems to me that would be better, yes?
Hello, does the owners of the software allow this for commercial purposes? I watched another youtuber saying Amazon does not allow approve of this and your account could be blocked?
Regardless of Amazon's rules, you shouldn't want any puzzle in your book available for free online: * All wordsearches created using the free software on this page are added to the archive and made available to other users for the benefit of the puzzling community.
I brought 800 words from GBT chat to put them in the word search book. They are all general words, but I have some concerns that they contain words that have copyrights, especially since English is not my first language. What do you advise me?
Hello, I have a question for you. I designed a spiral notebook in Canva and uploaded it to Amazon KDP, but Amazon KDP did not accept it. Am I doing something wrong? I wonder. I ask you how to design a spiral notebook so that Amazon KDP accepts it.
Finally find a worth eatching video which is actually beneficial and with actual complete guideline. No incomplete info or guideline. Bundle of thanks...
Hi Ben, I suggest when you make these videos, let people know Real Early that KDP prints the books on demand for you. I was a physical products seller on Amazon and was concerned about how to print the books and do I need to carry inventory. Some quick research found this: “KDP prints your book on demand and subtracts your printing costs from your royalties. That means you don't have to pay any costs upfront or carry any inventory.” from KDP help.

the resolution of the picture from using this website is 72 dpi which is not working well for KDP, I have tried to converted to 300DPI using some tools, still the pic is looks blurred same as for 72 dpi. does it look good when it would be printed in kdp after convert it to 300dpi?
Thank you for the video. Your channel is very inspiring. Can you please tell me if making a big puzzle Search Word, for example 100 pages and to each puzzle of 20 words that would be 2000 words total! If suddenly some words will be repeated? is that allowed?
Thank you very much. Your video is really helpful. But! the size of the downloaded image with the puzzle is so small that the quality of the image is very low when printing the puzzle book. how did you manage to solve this problem?
Help ... are there any updates? I got my book all made, then opened the pdf view and decided it is just too pixelated. So aside from manually changing letter by letter in Canva, what else is there out here free to make a word search with actual clear letters? I want to make a jumbo print one and if I go and stretch out the png even more, no senior is going to want to solve an unclear puzzle. I thought converting the png to svg might help, but that made the text look all different, sort of like comic sans but not able to see the letter T and I very well. I found another generator, but I'd have to manually type in or copy and paste each word for word, with no solutions. I can deal with that and make my own solutions if I have to, but ... I just want to be able to just copy paste and generate like this site you showed, but I really need it to be clear. P.S. Thanks for showing how to make the solutions smaller.
So I tried this exact method and so far two things I cant seem to fix , The first one being The puzzle seems to have missing letters in some of the boxes and the second thing is in Canva I am able to create the Heading box but I am unable to add any words to it. Please Help.
I came to ask a question, but I figured this one out the other day. When you are creating the puzzle, in the words list, make sure to not have a space between words; same with hyphens like topsy-turvy (just put topsyturvy in the generator). Just smash them together. Then when you are making your page in Canva, just have the words shown as they would appear regularly. I don't understand what the second question is, unless maybe you just need to double click into the the ADD A HEADING thing that pops onto the page.
