Novice
Easy to Hard
About
We make the books we wanted to buy.
Hardcore Puzzler started with a simple complaint: too many puzzle books labelled "hard" are finished in an afternoon. So we make books with plenty of puzzles, clear printing, and difficulty that climbs properly from novice to genuinely tough.

How we grade difficulty
Most series come in three levels. Within each book the puzzles get harder as you go, so there is always a next step.
Adept
Medium to Very Hard
Master
Hard to Extreme
What's in the range
Many come in large print with one puzzle per page, and in a pocket size for travelling.
