Word search - Culinary Herbs

Press on a letter and drag (or press, drag, release on touch) across a whole word, in any of the eight directions.

Solving tip: Check the first and last letters of each word in the list, then hunt those pairs.

  • GARLIC
  • DILL
  • PAPRIKA
  • SAFFRON
  • SUNLIGHT
  • CALENDULA
  • BAYLEAF
  • ANISE
  • THYME
  • REDCLOVER
  • PLANTAIN
  • GARDEN
  • OREGANO
  • TARRAGON
  • HEIRLOOM

Sudoku - medium

Type a number in each empty cell so every row, column and 3x3 box holds 1 to 9 exactly once. This puzzle has exactly one solution - verified by computer before it was posted.

Solving tip: Look for naked pairs: two cells in a unit that can only hold the same two numbers.

Maze - medium

Start at the top-left opening and find the one path to the bottom-right. Print it for the full pencil experience, or peek at the solution path.

Solving tip: Work backwards from the finish - sometimes the path is clearer from that end.
