Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a puzzle book "extra large print"?
Extra large print puzzle books (also called big print puzzle books or vision-friendly puzzles) use fonts of 18-24 points (compared to 10-12 points in regular books), with increased spacing between letters and wider grids. This makes text 2-3 times larger and creates easy-read puzzle books perfect for comfortable solving.
Are these books suitable for people with macular degeneration?
While we can't provide medical advice, many customers with vision challenges find extra large print books helpful. The high contrast and large text reduce eye strain. Always consult your optometrist for personalised recommendations.
Do extra large print books cost more?
Extra large print books are typically priced similarly to regular puzzle books (£6.99-£12.99). The slightly higher cost reflects the specialised formatting and often premium paper quality.
Can I find UK-specific content in extra large print?
Yes! Our collection includes books specifically created for UK audiences, featuring British spelling, cultural references, and themes familiar to UK puzzle solvers. Many are available through Amazon UK, Waterstones, and other UK book retailers with next-day delivery options.
How do large print puzzles help with brain health?
Large print puzzles reduce cognitive load from visual processing, allowing seniors to focus entirely on the mental challenge. This promotes better concentration, memory function, and problem-solving skills. Age UK recommends puzzle-solving as part of healthy aging and mental wellness routines.
