The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is that, unlike many problems in life, you know there’s a solution NEWSPAPER LOGIN
The Puzzle Company is New Zealand’s biggest puzzle maker, supplying every daily and Sunday paper, and most of the country’s community papers.
In addition, our puzzles run in around another 200 newspapers in Australia, North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
As well as making puzzles we also provide customised layouts at any shape or size, for daily, weekly or monthly publications.
If you want a puzzle page but don’t know which puzzles would work best for your readers, we will offer advice, with the aim being to have the maximum number of people looking at your publication for as long as possible.
CONTACT USNumberFit is the same as WordFit but uses numbers instead of words - the version you may have seen in newspapers is called Number Cruncher.
Each WordFit magazine contains 46 puzzles and each NumberFit magazine contains 60 puzzles (Wordfit grids are 17x17, NumberFit grids are 11x11).
The magazine is only available through The Puzzle Company and isn’t in shops.
Although each is effectively a monthly magazine, due to increased costs we send two at a time. Doing this has let us keep the price at $15 per magazine.
Two new editions of each magazine are available in February, April, June, August, October and December. We send an email to everyone who has registered to let them know when new magazines are available.
If you’re an occasional or first-time buyer your magazines will be sent soon after we receive your payment. You can buy previous editions any time.
No extended subscription is necessary, just pay when you want more magazines.
We’ll send out an email at the start of each of those months to remind you that the new magazines will soon be available.
