Senior-Friendly Formatting Specifications

• **Trim Size**: 8.5" × 11" is mandatory. Never use 6" × 9" for senior word search books.
• **Grid Dimensions**: A 15×15 or 16×16 letter matrix provides the optimal balance of challenge without crowding the page.
• **Letter Font Size**: Letters inside the puzzle grid should be at least **16pt to 18pt bold**, rendered in a clean font like Arial, Helvetica, or Inter.
• **Word List Layout**: Place 15-20 words per puzzle below the grid in 2 or 3 clean columns using 14pt+ typography.

Themed Word Lists Perform 3x Better
