About Hazel Woods
I started making word search puzzle books because I couldn't find the ones I wanted to give as gifts. The books on the shelf were either too small, too plain, or filled with random words that had no connection to each other. I thought — what if every puzzle told a little story?
That idea turned into more than 40 books and counting. Each one is themed around something real — holidays, nostalgia, mindfulness, nature, British culture, and more. The word lists are curated by hand, not randomly generated. The grids are large print on full 8.5×11 pages so you never have to squint. And many books include trivia questions and fun facts tucked between puzzle sections, because a good puzzle book should be an experience, not just a task.
What makes these books different
Most word search books on Amazon are produced quickly — small grids, random words, no thought behind the themes. I take a different approach. Every book goes through a quality process: themed word lists are researched and curated, puzzles are generated on 20×20 grids (larger than most competitors), and the final layout is carefully formatted for readability and enjoyment.
Several of my books include bonus features you won't find elsewhere — themed page decorations, background music playlists via QR code, and 80 free bonus printable puzzles for every reader who joins my email list.
My books have been reviewed by independent book bloggers across the UK and US, with praise for paper quality, puzzle design, and the care that goes into each volume.
Paperback & Kindle Scribe
The Hazel Woods collection is available as large print paperbacks (8.5×11) and as interactive Kindle Scribe editions with tap navigation — so you can write directly on puzzles with your stylus. The Kindle Scribe volumes consistently rank among Amazon's best sellers in the word search category.
