Common questions

How do I get Large?

It is a digital download. After checkout the PDF is available straight away — nothing is posted to you, so there is no shipping cost or delivery wait.

How many pages is the PDF?

The PDF is 34 pages, which includes the answer keys for the puzzles that have set solutions.

Can I print it at home?

Yes. It is a standard PDF that prints on any home or office printer, in black and white or colour. You can print the whole file or just the pages you want, and print a page again whenever you need a fresh copy.

Is the print large enough for someone with low vision?

It is set in large print with high contrast and generous spacing, designed to stay comfortable to read for older eyes. For very limited vision, printing at a larger scale using your printer's enlarge setting gives more size again.

Are answers included?

Yes. Answer keys are included for the puzzles that have set solutions, so a helper does not have to work them out first.

Can I use this with a group or in a care setting?

This printable is made for caregivers, families, activity directors and senior living communities, and the pages are meant to be printed and used with the people in your care — one page for a short activity, or several for a longer session. Please do not resell or redistribute the file itself.

Designed for older adults and caregivers

  • Large print — Generous type sizes and high-contrast pages that stay easy to read in low light or with tired eyes.

  • Calm layout — Uncluttered pages with plenty of white space and one activity at a time, so nothing feels overwhelming.

  • Clear instructions — Plain-language directions at the top of every page, written to be understood without help.

  • Gentle challenge — Engaging enough to feel satisfying to finish, pitched to encourage rather than frustrate.
