## About

# PuzzleTide Printable Puzzles

Produce print-ready puzzle PDFs with the local PuzzleTide CLI. Every PDF
includes the puzzle page(s) and a solution page (omit it with
`--no-solution-page`). Use `--paper a4` outside North America.

Prefer the local CLI. Check availability in this order:

```bash
ptide --version
puzzletide --version
npx puzzletide --version
```

If none of those work, ask the user before installing (`npm install -g puzzletide`).

## One-off worksheets

```bash
ptide wordsearch generate --theme seasonal/winter-holidays --pdf christmas.pdf --title "Christmas Word Search"
ptide crossword generate --file words.json --pdf review.pdf --title "Unit 4 Review"
ptide sudoku generate --difficulty easy --pdf sudoku.pdf --paper a4
```

## Packets (multiple sheets)

Vary `--seed` to make each sheet different, and give each file a name:

```bash
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  ptide sudoku generate --difficulty medium --seed "$i" --pdf "sudoku-$i.pdf" --title "Sudoku #$i"
done
```

## Picking a theme

```bash
ptide words categories                    # animals, geography, holidays, sports, ...
ptide words themes --search halloween     # find theme ids
```

## Tips

- For kids: `ptide wordsearch generate --difficulty easy` keeps words forward-only.
- `--svg ` produces a vector image instead, useful for embedding in documents.
- SVG/PDF titles come from `--title`; the default is the theme title.
- Merge or rearrange pages with the user's preferred PDF tool if needed.
