A Manaka Royalty alternative for puzzle books
Manaka Royalty, from Royalty Prints, is an online tool that makes puzzle pages, their solutions and book covers, sold once for $21. vøiddo does one thing: it makes the finished files of a KDP puzzle book, interior and full wrap cover with the spine sized to the page count, and checks both against KDP’s paperback specs. You pay per book, from $3.30, and unused credits can be refunded.

Which one fits
- vøiddo fits when you want finished, checked files for KDP: the full wrap cover with its spine sized to the page count, a named trim size and paper, large print, logic puzzles such as killer sudoku, calcudoku, futoshiki and kakuro, and your credits back if KDP rejects the files.
- Manaka Royalty fits when you want crosswords, mazes of many shapes or unusual sudoku layouts, JPG pages for printables, or will make four books or more: from the fourth book on, $21 once costs less than our packs, if its makers produce the books you need and you accept that the sale is final.
- The two work together: their makers for crosswords and shaped mazes, our files for the logic puzzle books and the checked KDP cover.
Questions
Is this cheaper than Manaka Royalty?
For one to three books, yes: three books cost $15 from a pack against $21. From the fourth book on, their single payment costs less, if its makers produce the books you need. Our unused credits can be refunded within 14 days; their sales page says there are no refunds.
Will KDP accept the files?
Each book passes our check against KDP’s published paperback specs before you can download it. If KDP still rejects the files within 30 days, the book’s credits go back to your key.
Does vøiddo make crosswords?
Not yet: crossword clues need a source we can stand behind, and we have not settled one. Manaka Royalty lists crosswords among its six makers.
Do I need to design the cover?
No. The program builds the full wrap cover with the spine sized to the page count, typeset from the book’s own puzzles. Your title, subtitle and name go on the front, the spine and the title page.
Is vøiddo connected to Manaka Royalty?
No. Manaka Royalty is a product of Royalty Prints; this page compares public prices and features as they were on the date above.
