Six puzzles per page is our most paper-friendly layout: a full sheet of grids for batch printing, classrooms or building your own little puzzle pack. The grids are compact, so it's best for confident solvers who write small. It prints tidily on both A4 and US Letter, and you can save it as a PDF to print a whole booklet at once. Switch solutions on before printing for an instant answer sheet.
