What does 'Only returned X of Y requested items' mean?

The AI sometimes returns fewer items than you requested — often to avoid duplicates or keep content appropriate. Partial results are still fully usable: edit them in the preview, add more manually, or run Generate again.

What is a compound word?

A compound word is one word made by combining two smaller words — like 'sunflower' (sun + flower), 'rainbow' (rain + bow), or 'snowman' (snow + man).

What activity formats are available?

Match the parts, combine two words into one, or split one compound into its parts.

Does AI match the grade level?

Yes. AI tailors vocabulary to K–2, 3–5, or upper elementary.

Can I use my own words?

Yes. Manual mode accepts any compound word list.

Is there an answer key?

Yes — a separate answer key prints with every worksheet.

Can I edit AI output?

Yes. Every word and pair is editable before download.

Yes. Crisp A4 or US Letter PDF, black-and-white friendly.

Is this worksheet maker really free to use?

Yes — start without a credit card. Manual mode is always free to use and does not spend AI word credits. On the free plan you get 5,000 lifetime AI words (one trial per network), up to 10 PDF downloads per day, and a subtle eduzuma.com watermark on exports. Basic, Pro, and School plans remove the watermark, lift daily limits, and include a commercial resale license.

Do my PDF downloads have a watermark?

Free-plan and guest PDFs include a small eduzuma.com footer watermark. Paid plans (Basic, Pro, School) deliver 100% watermark-free PDFs — the upgrade most teachers and KDP publishers choose.

Is there a daily download limit?

Free and guest users can download up to 10 PDFs per day (tracked in the app). Paid plans include unlimited daily downloads.

Can I sell worksheets or puzzle books commercially?

Classroom and personal use are included on the free plan. Selling on Teachers Pay Teachers, Amazon KDP, Etsy, or similar requires Basic, Pro, or School — each includes a royalty-free commercial license and watermark-free PDFs.

Does using AI cost anything?

Manual mode never spends AI word credits. AI generation uses credits from your plan — 5,000 lifetime words on the free trial, then monthly refills on paid plans.

Can I download multi-page worksheet packs on the free plan?

The free plan exports one page per generation. Basic supports up to 5 pages per click; Pro and School support unlimited multi-page packs — ideal for workbook sets, puzzle books, and full classroom packets.
