2 things to look at

  • 20 days oldThe repository was created 20 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
  • 2 stars2 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

PuzzleTide Printable Puzzles

Produce print-ready puzzle PDFs with the local PuzzleTide CLI. Every PDF includes the puzzle page(s) and a solution page (omit it with --no-solution-page). Use --paper a4 outside North America.

Prefer the local CLI. Check availability in this order:

ptide --version
puzzletide --version
npx puzzletide --version

If none of those work, ask the user before installing (npm install -g puzzletide).

One-off worksheets

ptide wordsearch generate --theme seasonal/winter-holidays --pdf christmas.pdf --title "Christmas Word Search"
ptide crossword generate --file words.json --pdf review.pdf --title "Unit 4 Review"
ptide sudoku generate --difficulty easy --pdf sudoku.pdf --paper a4

Packets (multiple sheets)

Vary --seed to make each sheet different, and give each file a name:

for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  ptide sudoku generate --difficulty medium --seed "$i" --pdf "sudoku-$i.pdf" --title "Sudoku #$i"
done

Picking a theme

ptide words categories                    # animals, geography, holidays, sports, ...
ptide words themes --search halloween     # find theme ids

Tips

  • For kids: ptide wordsearch generate --difficulty easy keeps words forward-only.
  • --svg <file> produces a vector image instead, useful for embedding in documents.
  • SVG/PDF titles come from --title; the default is the theme title.
  • Merge or rearrange pages with the user's preferred PDF tool if needed.

Safety

  • Everything runs locally; no account, API key, or network access.
  • Do not install packages without asking the user first.
