No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate puzzle generation, we do not guarantee that all generated puzzles will be error-free, solvable, or suitable for your specific purpose. Always review puzzles before printing or distributing.

Not Professional Advice

Mind-Sprout is an educational tool and entertainment service. It is NOT a substitute for professional educational advice, therapy, or medical treatment. Puzzles are for recreational and cognitive engagement purposes only.

Educational Claims

While puzzles and cognitive activities have been associated with various benefits, we make no medical or therapeutic claims about the effectiveness of our puzzles for treating, preventing, or curing any condition.
