How to Create a Number Link Book for Amazon KDP
In Number Link, each number appears twice, and lines join the pairs without ever crossing. Generate a book with 3 levels, from 6 x 6 to 10 x 10, and the solutions at the end.
Before you start
The Number Link wizard is available on every LogikLand plan, including the FREE plan, from the dashboard. Commercial rights, which you need to sell your books on Amazon KDP, come with the PRO and EXPERT plans.
The puzzle needs no arithmetic: the numbers only name the pairs. When a grid is finished, every square is used.
How to play Number Link
- Each number appears twice in the grid. Draw a line that joins the two identical numbers.
- Lines move horizontally or vertically, from square to square. They never cross and never share a square.
- When the puzzle is finished, every square of the grid is used. Every grid has a single solution.
These rules are printed at the start of your book when you add the “How to play” page.

Tips for a Number Link puzzle book

Margins and Amazon KDP requirements
Amazon KDP margin requirements depend on your trim size and your page count: the inside margin must be larger for thicker books. Check the official KDP margin guidelines, preview your file in the KDP previewer, and increase the margins in the Layout step if needed.
