Word Count Tips
For best results, keep your word list within these ranges:
10×10— up to 12 words 12×12— up to 18 words 15×15— up to 25 words 18×18— up to 35 words 20×20— up to 45 words
Words longer than the grid size or that don't fit will be skipped.
CMYK-Optimized
Adjusts pixel colors to simulate how ink behaves on paper. Amazon KDP uses CMYK printers — this mode produces more accurate print colors than standard RGB.
Note: Screens display RGB only. The difference is visible in print, not on screen.
