About These Resources
Picture Word Game:
A hidden picture is revealed piece by piece when you guess the letters of hidden word. In a way, this is like a reverse hangman game.
Hangman:
Using a dictionary of about 170 thousand words, this game of hangman has some easy words,
but it also has some brutally difficult and obscure words!
My Secret Word:
You have 7 guesses to figure out the secret word I've chosen. Pick letters from
the alphabet, I'll tell you if they are the right letters, in the right place.
Scrambled Word Game:
Find the hidden word scrambled in a five-by-five grid of letters,
by selecting one letter from each row and column.

BlackBerry Game:
Given the computer's clue word and a list of numbers and symbols which represent BlackBerry keys, figure out the secret word.

This game is sort of like a word search, sort of like a crossword puzzle. You are given a clue word, from which you must find
four related words hidden in the word search array.
Four Word Scramble:
You are given the letters that make up a list of four related words. You are also given a clue
word to help you unscramble the letters. This game uses the same puzzle words and clues as Related Word Search.
Word Grid Puzzle:
This game is similar to a crossword puzzle, except that instead of giving you clues, I give you the words.
Your job is to figure out where each word goes!
Cheater Hangman:
It looks like Hangman. It acts like Hangman. But...this game cheats! Can you figure out how?
One Of These Things:
Given a list of words - some common, some very obscure and archaic - and one
not a word at all, can you guess which word is not to be found in the dictionary?

week honing their skills! Includes a weekly writing prompt.
