Students light up with these Word Explorer puzzles that develop problem solving and pattern discovery experiences with words and letters.

Description and Features

Word Explorer is an engaging collection of diverse word puzzles designed to ignite students' passion for active learning and the discovery of patterns. Drawing inspiration from the companion mathematics series Pattern Explorer, this collection recreates the thrill of problem-solving and pattern exploration through the use of words and letters. From classic puzzles like word scrambles, rebus puzzles, and word searches to less traditional, reimagined formats, these puzzles supply a wide variety of problem-solving opportunities in language arts to foster the type of critical thinking skills often associated with mathematical patterns. Get ready to play and have fun working with letters and words!

To maximize diversity and variation, the puzzles in this 112-page book appear in a rotating order for a total of 64 puzzle sets divided into the following themes:

  • Missing Letters
  • Letter Rearrangement
  • Word Combinations
  • Vocabulary
  • Path Search
  • Code-Breaking/Logic
  • Visual


The activities are self-contained and independent, gradually increasing in sophistication. While we encourage starting with earlier sets, students have the freedom to choose their own path.

Suitable for students in grades 6-8, these puzzles cater to different comfort levels with word exploration. Accompanied by hints and solutions, the activities offer support for younger students while challenging older ones to uncover patterns with agility. Regardless of the pace, our playful exploration of words and letters is a rewarding experience.

We encourage students to pursue these pattern problems with a sense of adventure and perseverance. Some pattern discoveries may come quickly, while others may require patience and determination. Regardless, the pattern exploration offers rich and authentic experiences to see words and letters as an opportunity to discover and have fun.

I got this for my 12 yr old dyslexic son, to help with spelling and reading new words. He loves it! Two other children and I enjoy helping him solve the puzzles.

As a homeschooling mom, I absolutely love Word Explorer! My 6th grader follows along easily and has a blast learning with the diverse word puzzles. My 4th grader likes to try these as well, although challenging, it pushes her to want to learn the more difficult, higher grade-level words. It's a fun way to reinforce our home curriculum, and the critical thinking skills she gains while exploring words are priceless. Highly recommended!
