## How to play

1. Work with a partner or in a small group.
2. One player (or the answer key) keeps track of the correct word. Everyone else guesses one letter at a time.
3. If a guessed letter is in the word, fill it in on every blank where it appears.
4. If the letter is not in the word, mark one strike. Six strikes and the round ends before the word is solved.
5. Use the clue beside each puzzle to help narrow down your guess, especially once a few letters are revealed.
6. Check your final answers against the answer key once every puzzle is complete or attempted.
