1. Intro: Hello, everyone, and welcome. In this course, I will show you how to create a war source puzzle. We'll go through each step together. And because time it's so important, we use I to speed uple process. We'll start by selecting our topic and choose the right keyword to generate our puzzle. Whatever you are mom and one create puzzle for children, teacher designing activity for your student or someone interested to publish your own puzzle book. This course is for you. Ahmed, I've been publishing puzzle book on Amazon for the last two years. Join me and k start creating our fun and engaging war source puzzle. 2. Project: Now, let's start with the step one. Our goal in this court is to be able to create a war source puzzle like this one. Not exactly like this one. We can customize it. We can change it, we can add image, we can change the color, we can change the font, but our goal is to be able to create a warsurce puzzle. This is example for word source puzzle. The first one, this one above sport, this one above sport, this one about country, the name of country, for example, p Canada, Mexico, Norway, Spain, This one a country, this one a Amon, our goal is to create a war sch like this one. Of course, with each word surch puzzle, must create, of course, the solution. If we go to the end, we'll find a solution like this one. This is our goal in this course. We're able to create a war source with the solution, and this is our project. Like all of us, we must create a war source puzzle and submit it in the project section. Our project in this course, is to create a word source. Of course, It's not mandatory to create of course warsce puzzle like this one, exactly, exactly like this one. You can customize it, you can change the font, you can change the position of the word, you can change the size, you can change everything. But our projects to create a word source puzzle. After we finish, you must create your own war source puzzle and submit it in the project section. Now, see you in the next. 3. The Tools You'll Need: Now, let's see the tool that we need to create our project. First, we have the free method, which is word search generator, which just Google WorsarchGenerator. There's lots of website. I'm going to use this website, exactly. This one, the word search P I'm going to use if you want to choose the free method like you're going to use this one, or if you're going to use debate method, we're going to use software. I'm going to use this website, book Bolt. Now, if you're going to use book board, we're going to choose this plan, this plan, $20 a month because we need a puzzle equation software include. This one, we need specifically a puzzle quation software include. With this one is going to allow us to create a wars. Now, if you're going to use this software, I would leave a couple code here, you would take 20% off. Now, what is the difference between the paid method and the free method? Look, in the paid method, like you can customize your own or source. You can make lots of change in it, and you can use it in commercial use For example, if you are planning to sell it in the future or like publish a book in azo be sell it or sell it in another marketplace, this website allows you to use the puzzle in commercial use. But with the free method, for example, the majority of those websites doesn't allow you to use it in commercial use. For example, you can use website if you are a mom and want to create w search for your kids or a teacher and you want to create it for a student. It's okay. Those website allow you. But if you want to set it, if you want to use it in commercial use, no. Those website doesn't allow you to use it in commercial use. Different the different here with the software, we can we will see in the course, how we can change lots of things in our puzzle. But those we only allowed to create a puzzle, that's all. And we are not allowed to set it. So this is a different between the free method and the paid method. Now let's start creating our puzzle. 4. Choose Your Niche: Thing we need to know before we start creating our puzzle is we must know this puzzles for for kids, for adult, for senior because the type of word that we're going to use for adults is not going to match with the kids. The first thing we must know this puzzle is for kids, for adults, for senior. This is the first thing we must know. Now let's go to Amazon and make research and know what people are searching in Amazon. For example, here, I write word search for kids age six to eight, fine like bunch of pork six to eight, for example, this one, this one, and this one. Okay. Now, I can make let's say what people are searching for like Amazon surch bar, is going to give us a suggestion. That's what are people soc for when the right word source for kids. They look for words kids age eight to ten eight to 12, four to six, for girl, like let's say remove four, and we see kids for kids for adult sarcing for adults. Let me write for adult. They're wsurch for adult print, funny, like small book in Spanish, in different language. Here the senior now. The wartorF worst print, or I can, for example, a tug like specific topic. For example, like write sport. Sport wars. I create a puzzle book, especially about sport, all the puzzle about sport. Sport warsportw sports war search book. For example, let's say, we can create wartor puzzle about mother day, specifically, or the puzzle. It's about mother day. For example, let's make Mother day Word search. He'll be creating words specifically for mother day. This type of puzzle is specifically for we can create a father day word search. We can choose any topic you want. This is just an example to see what people are searching for. Here we can create a mother day sport in the sports specifically, we can make, for example, a book on about basketball. All the world, it's about basketball. So here we choose our topics sport and specifically, basketball, or we can choose golf, like basketball, soccer, football, any type of tennis like all the word surch it's about tennis, and we can choose any topic we want. Here, our first thing we must know is we choose this word sch puzzle is for who for kids, for adults. For senior. From here, we can choose a subs. For example, let's say, I'm going to create wasuro for kids, but it's only specific related by sport. All the warsurch for kids is by sport. Of course, when I create waster book for kids about sports book for adult above sport is not going to be the same. The type of word I'm going to use it for adult is not going to be the same with four kids. So here first thing we must know is we choose our niche and we know this puzzle is for the puzzle that we're going to create for who for kids, adults for senior. And then we can choose the age, you can choose the topic, we can choose the other thing. Now, in the next lesson, we'll see how to find those words, for example, let's say we choose the topic of sport, how to find word related sports.

For example, I want to put the title. I want to add image here. I want to take this word here and change it here.

I can change the letter one by one. I can put this one here. Like that. And for this and for this and for this one by one. I can change it even one by one. This is different and another difference. Now, if you are planning to use it, for example, you are a mother, and you're going to do it for your kids. So you can choose this one. You don't need to do it for a paid website. You can use this one if you are a teacher and for your student, you can choose this one, you're a mother, you can choose But if you want to sell it in the future, for example, in marketplace like or you can publish a book in Amazon KTP. No, you must use this website because you allow you to use it in commercial use. Give you the license for commercial use. First, it's going to be more easy and more quick. If you're going to create it like this one, it's going to take a week for creating the book. This one is more easy and this one give you the commercial use. Be careful, don't go to, for example, Here, I'm tolding if you're planning to sell it in Amazon TP or anyT in the future. Like if you're not going to sell it, it's okay. You can choose any website from both. For example, write word search generator and choose this website, this website, this website. It's okay. Like you can choose You can do it here and print it for kids or for students. But if you're going to sell it, no, because this website doesn't allow you to use it for commercial use. No. This is only if you're a teacher or you have kids. Be careful for those website here. That's all free. It doesn't allow you to use it for commercial use or maybe you will find some website allow you to use it for commercial use. Must go to each website. C here to the private policy and write it and read what do they say? What is it? Sales and privacy policy. Lots of websites, free that's allowed for teacher and for mother to have kids use it for kids or four students. But if you're going to, for example, create a book, Ward church book and published it in Amazon, as we see in the beginning, there is lots of book in Amazon.
