Why Word Search Books Are a Staple

Word Search puzzles have a massive, broad appeal ranging from educational books for kids to "Large Print" books for seniors. They are easy to consume and highly addictive.

Pro Tip: Focus on "Large Print" (16pt+ font) niches. The senior market for word search books on Amazon is huge and constantly looking for new themes.

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Word Search Book

1

Choose a theme or upload your own list of words

Start with a clear theme (e.g., "Positive Affirmations" or "50 States"). Use our AI to generate word lists instantly, or paste your own list to create a completely custom puzzle.

  • Vocabulary Building: Great for kids/educational niches.
  • Relaxation: Great for adult stress-relief niches.

Select the pages where to add puzzles

Map out your book. You can mix puzzle pages with coloring pages or quotes to create a "Activity Book" hybrid, which adds value.

3

Select the pages where to place the solutions

BooksGenie automatically generates solution pages with the found words highlighted. Standard practice is to fit 4 solutions per page at the back of the book.

Customize the pages and puzzles

Optionally you can adjust all aspects such as colors, fonts, and choose your grid size (e.g., 15x15 vs 20x20).

5

Generate and download

Click "Generate." The AI hides your words within a grid of random letters, ensures no accidental inappropriate words are formed, and builds your print-ready PDF.
