Frequently asked questions
Is it unique every time?
Yes, each click of 'Generate new puzzle' creates a new combination.
What is a compound word?
A word made from two smaller words, such as sun + flower = sunflower. The worksheet asks students to join or split compound words.
What grade learns compound words?
Compound words are usually taught in grades 1 and 2.
Which KDP trim sizes and margins does the Compound Word Maker support?
Every Amazon KDP paperback trim size from 5" × 8" to 8.5" × 11", including 6" × 9", 7" × 10", 8" × 10", 8.5" × 8.5" square and A4. Margins go from 0.375" to 0.875" to match KDP's inside-margin rule for your page count, with no bleed. Anything that would cross a margin is scaled to fit, so pages never break.
Can I make large print Compound Word pages?
Yes. Choose Large print or Extra large and every text, number and line prints about 1.4× or 1.75× bigger. Below the preview the page shows its smallest text size in points: large print books usually use 14 pt or more, extra large 18 pt or more. For grids, a smaller grid or a larger trim size keeps the letters big.
How many Compound Word puzzles can I make?
As many as you need. Every press of Generate builds a new page in your browser, and the Puzzle book PDF button collects 10, 25 or 50 different pages in one file, ready to add to your interior.
Can I sell books made with these pages on Amazon KDP?
Yes, you can use the pages in your own books, including books you sell on KDP. Use your own or public-domain words and titles and avoid trademarked names. Add your own cover, instructions and design so the book offers real value to buyers.
Are the files print-ready for KDP?
Yes. PNG files are 300 DPI at the exact trim size (the DPI is stored in the file) and SVG files are vectors, both with the content inside your margins. Place them in your interior file in Word, Affinity, InDesign or Canva and export a PDF for KDP, or use the multi-page PDF directly.
