No-prep packet FAQ

What is a no-prep puzzle packet?

A set of printable puzzle pages that is ready to copy and hand out: the word lists, clues and answer key are already done. Each PuzzlePage packet is written for one season and grade, and you can still change anything before you print.

Are the packets free?

Opening, editing and previewing a packet are free. Downloading the print-ready PDF is part of the $2.99 Day Pass, Plus ($6.99/month) or a KDP Publisher or Pro plan. Every puzzle type in a packet can also be made one at a time, free, in its own maker, with a small "Made with PuzzlePage" credit line.

Which grades are the packets for?

Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, middle school, and an any-grade sub day packet. Every puzzle has an easy, medium or hard setting, so you can adjust a packet for the class in front of you.

Do the packets include answer keys?

Yes. The answer key prints on separate pages at the end of each PDF, so you can copy the puzzles and keep the key.

Can I edit a packet before I print it?

Yes. A packet opens in the Worksheet Builder as an ordinary worksheet: change the words, clues and difficulty, swap a puzzle for another type, add pages, and put your class name in the subtitle.

Can I build my own packet from scratch?

Yes. The Worksheet Builder mixes 19 puzzle types, 1, 2 or 4 to a page, in workbooks of up to 20 pages. You can also describe a packet in one sentence and let the AI write the word lists and clues.
