What is Holiday Puzzle Starter?

✅ Holiday Puzzle Starter is the $17 front end of the Holiday Complete Puzzle Book Factory, a local offline HTML app from John Peace on WarriorPlus that builds Christmas word-search books for KDP.

You set a theme, reader, grid size and word count; a deterministic engine places every word and records each answer's start and end coordinates, then assembles front matter, instructions, numbered puzzles, solutions and back matter into one HTML manuscript with print CSS. Built-in: 194 unique words, grids 8×8 to 30×30, a two-stage quality meter, front-cover SVG, JSON backup.

No account, no API key, no cloud, no subscription, no AI in the engine.

Is Holiday Puzzle Starter worth it?

Worth $17 if you want one complete seasonal word-search book and you will own the print check.

The front end generates verified word searches, assembles a full manuscript and gives you a real answer key with coordinates – and the vendor states three times that no upgrade is required to finish a Starter book. The catches: word searches only, no PDF export, projects in browser storage, and a meter that caps at 89 until you attest to your own PDF.

My 6 bonuses (free through the link above) 1. 500-Word Christmas Bank – 194 built-in words will not fill a 25-puzzle book 2.

Print-to-PDF Settings Card – every browser setting, in order 3. 25 Listing Titles + Keyword Sheet – the app does no live research 4.

12-Month Seasonal Calendar – which season to build and when 5. 12-Point Page Review Sheet – for the 11 points the meter will not score 6.

Full-Wrap Cover Sizing Sheet – the app draws a front cover only

Buying through this page also gets you my bonus bundle. Holiday Puzzle Starter — the bonuses arrive with your receipt and they are mine, not the vendor’s. (affiliate link)

Who is Holiday Puzzle Starter not for?

Not for anyone who needs crosswords or scrambles today – those need the $27 upgrade. Not for anyone who refuses a browser print dialog, because no rung exports a PDF.

And not for anyone who will not export the JSON: the library lives in browser storage.

Frequently asked

Is Holiday Puzzle Starter AI?

No – the engine is local and deterministic, with no account, API key, cloud or subscription. The optional prompt library is copy-paste into an AI tool you already pay for.

Does it export a PDF?

No. It assembles one HTML manuscript with print CSS; you print from the browser at 100% scale with headers and footers off.

What puzzles does the $17 front end make?

Word searches only, 8×8 to 30×30. Crosswords, scrambles and topic matching need the $27 Architect upgrade.

Why does the quality score stop at 89?

Eleven of the hundred Stage B points are reserved for your own PDF and KDP Previewer attestation, so software alone cannot reach the blue band.

What is the refund policy?

14-day money-back guarantee – email John Peace within 14 days with the order reference. No publishing requirement.
