Yes, of course, I also want to watch a video about the maze generator! This video and this software are awesome. I don't think is better or worse than other puzzle softwares you told us about. I think they're complementary. One thing they all have in common: they're fantastic. And they do help in our work-I did puzzles in PowerPoint as in one of your previous videos with 4 answers per page. It's fun, but it's time-consuming. These 'machines' are time efficient. They're all great. Thank you, Keith, for telling us about each of them and for recommending those you use/trust. Thank you!
Very well said! Yes, if it is a puzzle type that there's a software for, and the software is efficient, like the ones I try to bring to everyone's attention, then I agree they're complimentary.
Thanks for the information. On a side note, I saw ee cummings in your list of poets. He never capitalized his name. You'll get extra brownie points with the English teachers if his name is all lower case.
The cryptogram looks REALLY good compared to what I have used or seen. Be interesting to know what they add for the maze generator in the standard pack. I would love to see you do an eval of it.
I couldn't agree more. When I saw the flexibility this software had, it really blew me away! And on top of that, there were a few suggestions that I had to make it even better and the co-designer has his team working on implementing those changes. So, not only is it a robust system, but they listen to their customers and make enhancements to the software based on customer feedback. Mind blown!
As long as you’re stating the source and you’re not presenting it in a negative way (ie. Worst phrases ever, Quotes from terrible actors, etc) then I haven’t had any issues with cryptograms.
can i download just the puzzle grid in png to upload to canva or is the only option to download the page. i have my layout set in canva and just want to drop the puzzle grid into a frame / grid on the pages.
If you’re trying to get the word search generator, that’s the Instant Puzzle Generator (IPG) link and that seems to be working fine. If you’re trying to get the generator that does the crosswords and cryptograms, that’s Word Puzzles Generator (WPG) and that link seems to be having issues. I’m going to reach out to Niranjan, the creator, and see what’s going on with that link.
One thing that was really confusing to me at first was that if you buy the Maze Generator (or either of the others), many of the features are not available unless you make additional purchase of the Pro and Premium versions. Certain features seem to be tied to each, for example, custom entry and exit and some other options require the "Pro" purchase on top of the regular purchase. And then the custom images maze generation requires the premium upgrade. So two additional purchases to do custom entry, exit and custom image mazes. Not complaining, but it was definitely confusing for me at first. I may have just missed the mention of it in the video though.
I’m sorry for the confusion. I thought I mentioned at the beginning that I had the full premium version so I could show off everything the software had. My apologies if I wasn’t clear.
@@KeithWheelerBooks No worries, it was the fact you have to buy premium and pro to get all the features. I had initially though I could just buy one thing (premium) to get all the features. But each is a separate add on. I reached out to the developer about having it all as one purchase but they can't currently do it. I bought them all so I could use all the features. Just didn't want anyone else to have my confusion. So you have to buy the maze generator, then the pro upgrade for some features, and then the premium for the custom image based mazes. Then you have it all!
@@BluePhaze24x7 Yes it's super confusing and doesn't state that on the website either. So basically it's $49 PER GAME??? Yes is have some nice features but $49 nice?? I was going to buy it at $49 for the package and was thinking the pro upgrade was something different but it's very very confusing. Almost like the dev tries to get you in the door with a low price and then BOOM another $49 and another and another and another, next thing you know you got $200 tied up in an online software that will probably charge you another $49 when a new game or update comes out. 🤯🤯
I completely understand the confusion and, to be honest, I’m not a fan of the funnel sales model that everyone is using these days. That said, I do personally find the software extremely versatile. I wouldn’t recommend something that I don’t personally use and find stand behind.
Is the font size only available in px (pixels)? In order to make things actually large print, I need to be able to specify font in points instead of pixels.
@@KeithWheelerBooks Thanks for the reply. I think I'd also have to figure out how many pixels are in each size of book page? I assume the page contents are scaled for the page size. More useful would be a way to select absolute font size, so you can see within the software how many letters of the correct font-point size fit in the page layout.
I don’t think you’ll need to go that far. As long as you know what font size you want, then you should only have to find a font/pixels conversion sheet.
Hi Keith. Thanks for the tutorial. I am new to this and need a little more help. What are the benefit of the IPG Pro compared to the basic one, please?
I clicked on the link publishing puzzles. I have made two payments but no puzzles. How do I get to the past all the offers to purchase and get the actual puzzles? I would appreciate some help on this matter. Admiral
Hi Kevin, with the double puzzle generator, are you able to select the types of puzzles? Or does it detect based on the type of txt/csv file that you update?
Crossword: the large number in the first cell of each clue is really a bad placement---they got it right in the solutions with a smaller number on the left upper corner....
I was going to buy this one now, but when I looked at the license it is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. They say that you have to get permission and it talks about a Comercial License but I cannot find out how much extra it costs. They have a special going on right now but for how long and that is for the personal use license.
@@KeithWheelerBooks It is right there in the cart. They have an offer for $47 to buy the one time purchase and then AFTER they give you the option to pay ANOTHER $47 to get the commercial use license by upgrading to Instant Puzzle Generator PRO. I have a screen shot if there is a way to send it to you. I went ahead and bought the Instant Puzzle Generator PRO upgrade because I am going to start putting out some puzzle books and it is better for cryptograms than any other program I have found so far and dealing with Fiverr is a tad slow and by far more expensive. As a side note, you have to do the upgrade to be able to generate the powerpoint output. I just have a problem with the "Oh, by the way..." type of marketing that has grown so common.
@@bamboopublishing8662 thanks for following up. If you could email me that screenshot, that would be great. My email is: kwheelerbooks at gmail. Also, I completely agree. I’m not a fan of that sales funnel mentality. That’s why, with my course, there’s no upsells. It’s all one price. Glad I’m not the only one tired of that methodology. (Thought I was just old)
Were you able to access the other puzzles when you upgraded? I upgraded as well, but only have access to the word searches, with a note saying I have access to pro.
I thought I covered it in the video but it's 2 different systems. IPG(Instant Puzzle Generator) only has word searches and upgrades give you access to already created word lists. WPG (Word Puzzles Generator) Is the system that has the crosswords, cryptograms, etc. When you have both systems, like I do, you'll see that main page that show in the video where you can access each system from one main page.
I have purchased your full course in the past. I tried to buy the puzzle generator but it is requiring me to create a PayPal account. I just closed by PayPal account as I do not agree with their upcoming TOS updates. I have made purchases on other websites that use PayPal but do not require you to create an PayPal account. Needless to say I am disappointed.
I completely understand. Unfortunately, while I accept both PayPal and CC for more course, many software companies, in our industry, these days only work through PayPal.
@@KeithWheelerBooks there’s a way for me to pay with my cc through PP w/o creating an account. You’re awesome btw I am transit from my job to semi retired I am not able to work on my books yet. I have a coloring book almost ready to go with my own art I need a cover and right key words for title.

This info is so amazing!! Thanks, Keith!
Thank you so much! 👍
Looks cool. Yes maze generator would be cool. Thx

I would love to see the maze generator. I use instant puzzle generator and find it very easy to use.
Sounds good. I will definitely do a video on maze generator. It's more flexible than any other system I've tried.
Would love to see the maze generator
Duly noted. I think you'll be amazed at the flexibility of the maze generator! It's honestly like nothing I've seen before.
Cryptogram- do you feel comfortable publishing any quote or phrase, or are there some you stay away from, like lyrics?
As long as you’re stating the source and you’re not presenting it in a negative way (ie. Worst phrases ever, Quotes from terrible actors, etc) then I haven’t had any issues with cryptograms.
can i download just the puzzle grid in png to upload to canva or is the only option to download the page. i have my layout set in canva and just want to drop the puzzle grid into a frame / grid on the pages.
You’ll download the whole page.
I need help accessing the WPG link for the word search generator. It said it had a typo error. Is there a way to fix that?

I'm trying to create word searches in Spanish, but it doesn't show me the letters with accents or Ñ, do you know if they can be placed?
I don’t know of any software that currently utilizes/recognizes accents and special characters like that.
I would love to see maze generator and start working with the puzzle generator.
The maze generator’s pretty cool.

Definitely will!
I have looked everywhere in your description and there is no link I can find to this puzzle generator website or app link???
It’s in the description, right under the time stamps. Here it is for quick reference: kwheelerbooks.com/pg
Hi Keith. Thanks for the tutorial. I am new to this and need a little more help. What are the benefit of the IPG Pro compared to the basic one, please?

You’re very welcome!
Hi Kevin, with the double puzzle generator, are you able to select the types of puzzles? Or does it detect based on the type of txt/csv file that you update?
To the best of my knowledge it does a word fillin o type of puzzle.
Are this interactive for e-books?
No, they’re for print books.

Thanks for the heads up. It should be working now.
@@KeithWheelerBooks have you tried lulu for spiral books? I'll check your videos as well for topic...

How much do these packages cost?
Base systems are discounted to $47.
