# The KDP Fleet Hunt maker

Generate a whole graded Fleet Hunt book, then export it at every KDP trim, print-ready at 300 DPI. Make one puzzle free in your browser, unlock a full project for a one-time fee, and export unlimited formats forever.

[Open Publisher Studio](https://app.oncebooks.com/publisher-studio/fleet-hunt)[Make one free first](https://www.oncebooks.com/tools/fleet-hunt-generator)

$4.99 once per project. Unlimited exports, every trim. No subscription.

## Every puzzle hides exactly one fleet

This takes real work in this genre, which is why so many printed battleship puzzles have more than one answer. The numbers alone almost never pin a fleet: on a bare eight by eight board only 9 layouts in 200 are fixed by their counts, because two identical ships can usually swap places without moving a number. The studio takes revealed squares away one at a time for exactly as long as the board still hides one fleet and no other.

## Every KDP trim, 300 DPI

Pick any of KDP's 17 trim sizes, from 5.06 by 7.81 up to 8.27 by 11.69, with correct margins and gutter. The single interior file you upload passes KDP review.

## Generate once, export forever

One project unlocks for $4.99. After that, re-export any trim, any time. No monthly subscription and nothing to cancel.

## How it works

1. Try a free puzzle. Use the free generator in your browser to make one Fleet Hunt puzzle and its answer, so you can see the output before you commit.
2. Pick a difficulty curve. In Publisher Studio, choose how many puzzles you want at each grade, from a six by six sea up to a twelve by twelve, and the studio generates the whole graded book.
3. Choose your KDP trim. Pick a trim size. The interior is sized with the right margins and gutter for the page count so it passes KDP review.
4. Unlock once, export any size. Unlock the project for $4.99, then export the print-ready interior and solutions PDFs at any trim, as often as you like.

## Questions

**How much does it cost?**

A project unlocks for $4.99, paid once. After that you can export the interior and solutions PDFs at any KDP trim, as many formats as you like, forever. There is no subscription.

**What do I get when I export?**

One print-ready 300 DPI interior PDF, with the answers at the back, sized for the KDP trim you choose. That interior is the single file you upload to KDP. You also get a separate solutions PDF.

**Are the puzzles guaranteed to have one solution?**

Yes, and it is the thing to check when you compare battleship books. Every board is checked to hide exactly one fleet before it enters the book, which the numbers alone would almost never achieve.

**Does every puzzle print the fleet?**

Yes. Under each grid is one silhouette per ship, grouped by size. Knowing which ships are left to find is half the deduction, so a board that leaves it out is unanswerable rather than hard.

**Can I call the book battleships?**

That is your call to make with your own legal advice; we ship the product as Fleet Hunt and describe the genre in plain words. The puzzles themselves are generated by us and yours to publish.

**Can I try it before I pay?**

Yes. The free Fleet Hunt generator makes a real 2-page puzzle in your browser with no sign-up. The unlock is only for a full multi-puzzle project you plan to publish.

**Can I sell the books I make?**

Yes. The exported interiors are yours to publish and sell on Amazon KDP or print yourself. The per-project unlock covers unlimited exports of that project.
