The bookstore offers over a hundred ebooks containing hand-crafted puzzles of various types.

Puzzazz is optimized for a seamless puzzle-solving experience. The app takes into account how users solve puzzles, offering features like patent-pending TouchWrite handwriting recognition, support for Bluetooth keyboards, and on-screen keyboards designed specifically for different types of puzzles. Users can effortlessly switch between "pen" and "pencil" input using an Apple Pencil or 3D Touch. Left-handed and color-blind users are also catered to. The app supports Split View and Slide Over, allowing users to multitask while solving puzzles.

Puzzazz ensures a user-friendly interface by displaying the complete puzzle along with both Across and Down clues simultaneously, regardless of device orientation or selected options like showing Answer Boxes. The app supports various author and editor tricks, such as unusual grids or clues. Additional features include automatic clue and cross-reference highlighting, easy entry for rebus puzzles (multiple letters in one square), built-in hinting with smart hinting for cryptics, note-taking functionality, and cell marking. Users can time themselves, compare their solving times on the puzzle leaderboards, rate puzzles they solve, and analyze how their ratings compare with others.

Puzzazz's powerful puzzle engine sets it apart as the best app for all types of puzzles, many of which were previously only available on paper. Puzzle types range from crosswords (including cryptic and variety crosswords, diagramless crosswords), acrostics, cryptograms, word puzzles, Sudoku, KenKen, logic puzzles, Mentagy, mystery puzzles, and more. Users can also explore special collections like the Year of Puzzles, Maze of Games, Cryptic All-Stars, and Variety Show.
