  • Allows a different form of thinking
  • Easily carried from place to place

Need some help with word search puzzles. . . .

  1. Ignore the word list and just look for words to "jump out" at you
  2. Look for multiple words at a time instead of just one word
  3. Turn your puzzle upside or sideways
  4. Search sections or chunks at a time versus one letter
  5. Take a short break or look away for a few minutes

Need some help with crossword puzzles. . . .

  1. Start with filling in the answers to the simplest clues first
  2. Focus on words that share letters with already completed answers
  3. As you fill in more of the puzzle, look at the patterns of letters forming
  4. Crosswords often involve puns, abbreviations, or other types of wordplay; consider different meanings or uses of the word in the clue to find the right answer
  5. If you’re stuck, step away for a bit.

Need some help with word scramble puzzles. . . .

  1. Look for common short words like "and," "the," or "it"
  2. Identify common prefixes (like "un," "re," or "dis") and suffixes (like "ing," "ed," or "ly")
  3. Physically or mentally rearrange the letters in different ways
  4. Look for clusters of letters that often appear together in words, such as "th," "ch," or "sh"
  5. If you can’t find the word right away, eliminate any letters that don’t seem to fit together
