Front Porch Puzzles

Word puzzles, codes, fill-ins, logic mysteries, and cooperative games with comfortable type and complete solutions.

Ten large-print puzzle books are available now.

Places families return to

The Family Places Collection

Illustrated keepsakes designed to help adults share meaningful vacation places and returning-family memories with children.

We’re developing our first family-place keepsake, inspired by Edisto Beach and Edisto Island. More to come.

What place would you share?

Help us notice the places families carry with them.

If your college town—or the beach, island, mountain, lake, or other destination your family returns to—is not here, tell us what makes it matter.

Request a place

A suggestion helps us understand interest; it does not guarantee a future title.

Books worth wrapping

Give them an afternoon that feels like theirs.

Choose a satisfying challenge for the solver in your life, or a place-led keepsake for someone who still carries a favorite town or destination home.

Our Story

Made to be shared.

My grandmother loved the puzzles in her local newspaper. That memory—and the everyday pleasure she found in puzzles—inspired Front Porch Publications.
