Printing tips

  • Print at actual size (100%) — the 43pt promise depends on unscaled output.
  • Even at this type size the pages are text-only and very light on ink.
  • Letter and A4 both hold the 12×12 grid with comfortable margins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much bigger is 43pt than your standard 28pt pages?
About half again as tall — each letter prints around 11 millimeters high. The grid drops to 12×12 so the page can hold the larger characters without crowding.
Why do these puzzles skip diagonal and backwards words?
Straight left-to-right and top-to-bottom scanning keeps the hunt comfortable when vision or attention is limited. Every word reads the way English naturally reads, so no placement feels like a trick.
Are these suitable for someone living with dementia?
Many families and activity coordinators choose this tier for exactly that situation: short familiar words, forgiving rules, and very large type make a low-frustration activity. It is a recreation activity, not a substitute for professional care.
Do the extra-large puzzles still come with answer keys?
Yes — every grid has a key page with all 12 words outlined, and the pack gathers the keys at the back, so a helper can check progress without solving alongside.
Will 43pt type fit on A4 paper?
Comfortably. The 12×12 grid was sized for the overlap of Letter and A4, so either paper prints the full layout at 100% scale.
