Questions
How hard is the Expert level?
Expert hides 30 words in a 20 × 20 grid, running in all eight directions including backwards, and the filler letters are borrowed from the word list, so there are plenty of false starts. Most people need 25–40 minutes.
Can I print these for a club, senior center or care home?
Yes. Puzzles are free for personal and non-commercial group use. Print as many copies as you need.
Is there a large print version?
Yes. Every theme has a large print edition with bigger letters and a roomier grid, made for easier reading.
