How it works:
You are welcome to play on your own or as a group. If you are playing as a group, please have this pulled up on one device to submit the answers.
The puzzles are designed to be able to be completed by school-aged children with their families, but everybody is welcome to play! Read the puzzles, examine the clues, and then click on an answer before clicking the “Next” button. If you didn’t get the correct answer to the puzzle, you can try again on the screen that follows by clicking the “Next” button. Please don’t use the backward and forward buttons in your browser as you will lose your place.
