How printing works
Everything on this site is made to come out of an ordinary office printer on ordinary A4 paper. Pick a game, set three options, press print - here is what each option does.
Choosing the difficulty
Most games have three levels: Gentle, Steady, and Sharp. Gentle is genuinely gentle - more of the puzzle already done, shorter words, wider paths. It is made for good moments on hard days, so when in doubt, start there. You can always print a Sharp one next. A few games - bingo, coloring, the two-player boards - need no level at all, so they simply don't ask.
Large print
The Large print switch enlarges the numbers, letters, and lines on the printed sheet itself - not just on screen. It follows large-print guidance for low vision: bigger type, thicker lines, one puzzle per page. If the person you're printing for holds books at arm's length, switch it on.
In the print dialog
- Keep the scale at 100% - don't use "Fit to page". The sheets are already sized for A4.
- Choose A4 paper and portrait orientation.
- Where a game has answers, they come out as the last pages. Not ready to hand them over? Print only the first pages, or keep the last ones in your pocket.
Printing the same puzzle again
Every sheet carries a short code in its footer. Note the code, and the same game page can produce exactly that sheet again - including its answer page. Handy when a puzzle wanders off before it's finished.
Works on ward computers
The games are generated right in your browser. Once a game page has loaded, it keeps working even if the connection drops - and nothing about the puzzle ever leaves the machine you're standing at.
