Puzzlemaker

Puzzlemaker is a free tool from Discovery Education for teachers, students, and parents. Try pre-made puzzles or make your own that are connected to your specific curriculum. Simply choose a puzzle type from the list: word search, criss-cross, double puzzles, fallen phrases, math squares, mazes, letter tiles, cryptograms, number blocks, and hidden messages; follow the directions to fill in the fields using your chosen terms or numbers; print and challenge your students to use their knowledge to find the solution. If you'd like to save the puzzle you've created, Discovery suggests that you copy and paste the puzzle and solution into a Word document to save on your desktop or in a file for future use. You can also challenge students to create their own puzzles on a selected topic for their classmates to solve. FYI, Puzzlemaker is only viewable in Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers version 4.0 or higher. Have fun! http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/.
