Big letters. No squinting.

Every grid in our books is set in 21-point type with plenty of room between the letters. The word lists are big too, at 17½ points. Here is the corner of a real puzzle in regular print and in ours.

  • A typeface made for easy reading. We use Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute so similar letters are easy to tell apart.
  • One puzzle per page, so nothing feels crowded.
  • Crisp black ink on white paper, with nothing busy behind the letters.
