Create Eye-Catching Letterbox Puzzles in Minutes
Want puzzles that pop with color and personality? Letterbox puzzles let you combine multiple fonts and colors to create visually striking grids where solvers cross off duplicates to reveal hidden words.
Transform simple word lists into vibrant, multi-colored puzzles perfect for puzzle books, social media engagement, classroom activities, and themed printables.
🎯 Why Letterbox Puzzles Work So Well
Simple mechanics that everyone gets:
A grid filled with letters. Solvers cross off duplicates. The hidden word emerges from what’s left.
But the real magic? Visual variety.
With Letterbox, you can:
- ✅ Use up to 3 fonts in a single puzzle – Mix playful with elegant, or go all-in on whimsy
- ✅ Add up to 5 colors – Create themed palettes for holidays, seasons, or brands
- ✅ Generate infinite variations – Same word, completely different visual layouts
- ✅ Perfect for social media – Eye-catching puzzles that stop scrollers
- ✅ Scale effortlessly – One puzzle or 100, single pages or full books
The result? Puzzles that feel fresh and fun for solvers—and look professionally designed for creators.
