Will the print be big enough?

The word search letters are 21 point bold, printed in a grid of large squares. Here is a word set at that size:

MACCABEE
21 point bold. On a phone it looks smaller than on paper; printed, each letter is about 5 mm (3/16 inch) tall.
  • Word search: grid letters 21 point bold, word lists at least 16 point.
  • Sudoku: numbers 34 point bold, one puzzle filling the page.
  • Number search: digits 23 point bold.
  • Crosswords: clues 15 to 16 point, each grid facing its clues.

Every size above is read from the program that drew the book.
