How to Create a Quote Slices Book for Amazon KDP
A sentence is written in a grid, then cut into small pieces and mixed. Readers put each piece back in its place to read the sentence.
Before you start
The Quote Slices 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.
There are 3 levels: pieces of 4, 3 or 2 letters. The sentences are written by LogikLand, not quotations from famous people.
How to play
- A sentence was written in the grid, then cut into small pieces, which are mixed under the grid.
- Put each piece back in its place, between the thick lines. The black squares show where words end.
- Read the grid from left to right, line by line: the sentence appears.
These rules are printed at the start of your book when you add the “How to play” page.

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.
Frequently asked questions
Can a piece fit in two places?
It can fit the black squares of two places, but only the right order gives a sentence that makes sense.
