Word search, crossword, and sudoku generators, printable PDF worksheets, and verifiable LLM evals.
Word search, crossword, and sudoku generators, printable PDF worksheets, and verifiable LLM evals. That is what the puzzletide mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Word search generator, crossword generator, and sudoku generator + solver in one local-first puzzle generator CLI — with printable PDF worksheets, starter word banks, verifiable LLM evals, and bundled agent skills. From the makers of puzzletide.com.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
puzzle_wordsearch_generate — Generate a word search grid from custom words, files, or themed word banks — every placement verifiable, printable via PDF/SVGpuzzle_crossword_generate — Generate an interlocking crossword with standard numbering and validated cluespuzzle_sudoku_generate — Generate easy, medium, hard, or expert sudoku with a guaranteed unique solutionpuzzle_sudoku_solve — Solve a sudoku from its 81-character string and report whether the solution is uniquepuzzle_sudoku_validate — Validate a sudoku grid — conflicts, solvability, and solution uniquenesswords_categories — List word bank categorieswords_themes — List or search the bundled themed word listswords_list — List the words in a theme, filtered by length or countwords_match — Find words matching a crossword-style pattern (c_r_l)words_anagram — Find anagrams of the given letters in the word bankwords_random — Pick a random word, optionally from one themewords_stats — Word bank statisticspuzzletide on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the AI and media services group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. PuzzleTide's toolset — puzzle_wordsearch_generate, puzzle_crossword_generate, puzzle_sudoku_generate and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by catorch; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
