BookPublisherTools: puzzle maker software for KDP, Etsy and classroom sellers

Shopping at BookPublisherTools? See all current BookPublisherTools promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

BookPublisherTools makes Puzzle Maker Pro, a family of puzzle generator programs for people who publish puzzle books and printables. If you sell activity books on Amazon KDP, printable packs on Etsy, or worksheets on Teachers Pay Teachers, these tools build the puzzle pages and matching answer keys for you. Each puzzle type is sold as its own module, and there are bundles that group related types at a lower combined price.

The software runs on your own computer and downloads straight from the member area after you pay. It's Windows only: the product pages say Mac users need to run it through virtual Windows. Payment goes through FastSpring. Every product has a free demo, and the demo files are watermarked, while paid files aren't. The site says a purchase comes with a commercial-use licence, so you can sell what you make.

The range is wide. Besides word puzzles there are logic puzzles (nonograms, masyu, yin-yang, block fill), shape puzzles (pentominoes, tetrominoes and cube nets), mazes and foldables, and there's a section of ready-made instant puzzle books and puzzle assets if you'd rather not build everything yourself. Tutorials and videos come with the tools, and there's a customer Facebook group for support.

What's worth a look

Most products come in several editions (named Creative and Productivity, some with an Interactive add-on), so the prices below are the starting price shown on each page when we checked.

The Codeword module, from $47, builds newspaper-style cipher crosswords with a 1 to 26 key and a solution page. If you want several word-grid styles, the Crossword Variations Bundle from $327 puts five of them in one purchase, including Codeword, Word Fill and Number Fill. For teachers, Quiz Builder from $27 makes multiple-choice quizzes with lettered answer boxes and a matching answer page, which works for worksheets as well as puzzle books.

Current offers

We don't have any BookPublisherTools codes at the moment. Some products on the site carry a "Sale!" label, including the Pentomino Bundle, and the bundles are priced below the cost of buying their modules one by one.

How to save more

• Try the free demo first. Every module has one, so you can check the puzzle style and the output files before you buy.
• Start with the lowest edition. The higher editions add more features and the Interactive versions add web play, which you may not need if you only sell print books.
• Look at bundles if you plan to buy two or more modules of the same kind. The Nonogram Bundle, for example, covers classic and color nonograms from $77.
