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.
