This article unveils a simple method for creating themed word lists for your Amazon KDP puzzle books. Generating topic-relevant word lists is often the most challenging aspect of puzzle book design. We’ll guide you through using a free, ChatGPT-powered tool to effortlessly create themed word lists. We’ll also share tips and tricks to optimize this tool for the best results.
Word Search List Generator Tool
The tool featured in this article is the “Word Search List Builder,” built on the ChatGPT platform. You can access this tool via the link provided in the description. As it’s ChatGPT-based, you’ll need a free ChatGPT account. Note: a paid ChatGPT subscription is not required.
To begin, click the “Click here to start” button. The tool will prompt you with three questions:
- What is the theme of your word search book? Provide multiple, similar themes for a more diverse word list. For example, if your main theme is “camping,” consider adding related themes like “hiking,” “wildlife,” “outdoors,” “nature.”
- How many words per puzzle? Puzzle word counts typically range from 9 to 21 words. Nine words is a popular choice for KDP puzzle books.
- How many total puzzles? Fifty-five puzzles is an ideal number for Amazon KDP puzzle books, balancing book length and printing costs.
After answering these questions, the tool automatically generates your word list. The list will be divided into groups, each containing your specified number of words per puzzle, separated by percentage (%) symbols.
Tool Usage Tips
- Character Limit: Each word should not exceed 20 characters. The tool is designed to adhere to this rule, but occasional errors may occur.
- Duplicate Words: The tool is designed to avoid duplicates. If you encounter any, restart by initiating a new chat or requesting a list regeneration.
- Overly Specific Themes: If you encounter difficulties generating a list, try broader themes.
- Continue Generating: ChatGPT has word generation limits. If the list is incomplete, the tool will display a “Continue generating” message. Type “yes” to continue.
Formatting Your Word List in Google Sheets
Once generated, copy and paste your word list into Google Sheets (or Excel). Use the find and replace function (Ctrl + H or Command + F) to replace all percentage symbols (%) with spaces. This creates spaces between word groups, formatting the list for BookBolt compatibility.
Finally, download the word list as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file.
Creating Word Search Puzzles in BookBolt
BookBolt is a valuable tool for creating Amazon KDP puzzle books. After downloading your CSV file, use BookBolt to automatically generate your word search puzzles. Select the “Word Search Standard” puzzle type in BookBolt and upload your CSV file. The software automatically generates puzzles and corresponding answer keys.
Conclusion
Creating word lists for Amazon KDP puzzle books becomes significantly easier with the “Word Search List Builder” and BookBolt. Hopefully, this article provides the necessary information to start creating your own puzzle books.
