Puzzle Aces Press

Welcome to our world of large-print word search books, built by hand. Discover our collections and find the one for you, or for someone you love.

How these books are made

Every book we publish follows one subject through a hundred puzzles, and every word list is assembled by hand. Words are chosen because they belong to their subject, never simply to fill a grid.

No word is used twice, and near-repeats are kept apart too, so you will not find stone in one puzzle and stony in the next. The print is large and clear throughout, set for comfortable reading.

In our themed collections each puzzle has a full two-page spread: the grid on one page and, facing it, the story behind the subject, a fact to enjoy and a short glossary of the words worth knowing. They are set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface developed by the Braille Institute. The Cozy Season, our seasonal line, gives each puzzle its own page, with the solutions at the back.

The collections are compiled by Adele Ainsworth.
