Your own words

Your own list can hold up to 40 words of up to 14 letters, a to z only. A word on the game's blocked list is left out. A long word is printed a little smaller so it fits its card.

Three ways to use the cards

  • Three piles. Read each card. It goes on the "know it", "nearly" or "not yet" pile.
  • Pairs. Print two sets, lay them face down, and turn over two at a time.
  • Find it in the puzzle. Each theme has a word search with the same words: hold up a card, then hunt for that word.
