Puzzlebind makes puzzle BOOKS, not single puzzles. Type or paste your own themed word lists, choose word search, crossword or word scramble, and Puzzlebind lays out a complete activity book: a cover, a contents page with real page numbers, generously margined puzzle pages, and a full answer key at the back. Export the whole thing as one print-ready PDF at A4 or US Letter. Perfect for teachers, care homes, party bags, family gifts, church and club newsletters, or anyone who wants a puzzle book about the things they actually care about. WHAT YOU GET - Word search grids that place every word unambiguously, with the filler letters checked so nothing unfortunate appears by accident - Dense, fully connected crossword grids built from your words and your clues - Word scrambles that are always genuine anagrams, never the original word - A cover, a contents page, running page numbers and a matching answer key - A4 and US Letter, with generous margins for printing, photocopying and writing in - Long word lists split across several puzzle pages automatically PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No data collected. No accounts. No servers. No ads. No tracking. Everything you write stays on your device, encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key held in the iOS Keychain that never leaves your phone. There is nothing to sign up for, because there is nowhere to sign up to. You can take an encrypted, passphrase-protected backup to move your books to a new device. ONE PAYMENT Puzzlebind is free to build with. Lay out an entire book, preview every page, and export the first three pages watermarked at no cost. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited full-book PDF export. No subscription. Not now, not later.
