Press Play this puzzle to open exactly this puzzle in the game, with big letters and a hint button, or print it to do with a pencil. The letters print bold and large, and each puzzle fits on one page with its answer key on the next.

Printing tips

• In the print window, choose Letter or A4 paper. Both are set up to fit, and each puzzle always fits on one page.
• Leave the scale at 100% (“Default” or “Actual size”), and turn Headers and footers off, so the page is clean.
• Black and white is fine. The answer key uses bold type rather than color, so it still reads clearly on a plain printer.
• The answer key is always the second page. Ask the printer for page 1 only if you want to keep it back.
