FAQ
How can I adjust the difficulty for different age groups?
Select the easy setting to keep words written only across and down. This works best for younger readers who are still building confidence. Choose medium to add diagonal words, or pick hard to include all eight directions. These options let you customize the challenge so the puzzle remains accessible for students from kindergarten through middle school.
