Step-by-Step: Create a Vowel-Based Letter Maze
1. Select the Letter Mazes module

2. Set up the default puzzle
In the Puzzle Settings tab:

AEIOU
- Under Path Type, ensure it’s set to:
Path – Use Letter List
(this is the default) - Grid size: Try
11 x 11
for a medium puzzle - Optional: Enable Random Start/End Position

3. Preview your puzzle
Click Next Preview to generate a sample. You’ll see:
- A maze with a start and end point

- All other letters act as “walls”
If the preview looks good, continue. If not, click Next Preview again to get a new layout.

4. Choose your output format
Switch to the Output Settings tab:
- Set Pixel Size (e.g.,
1600 x 1600
for high resolution) - Select your output folder
