Wordoku Puzzles #01-#50
Have you heard of Wordoku puzzles? Wordoku puzzles, are sudoku puzzles that use letters instead of numbers. And, the Wordoku puzzles in this collection do not include random letters. Rather, they spell unique 9-letter words. Answers are included for both the printable and the Google Apps™ versions. Here are a few reasons why these puzzles help support all, or almost all, learning environments:
1. They help to improve vocabulary: Wordoku puzzles can help students improve their vocabulary by challenging them to recognize and spell words correctly. By solving puzzles that require them to fill in letters instead of numbers, players can learn new words, practice spelling, and reinforce their understanding of language. Each puzzle includes the word used in the puzzle for easy reference!
2. Wordoku puzzles also help to enhance cognitive skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical thinking. As puzzle solvers work their way through the puzzles, they must use various forms of reasoning (deductive reasoning and analytical thinking) to figure out which letters go in each square. This process can help improve their ability to solve problems and make decisions in other areas of their lives because these skills are transferable and used in many areas of our lives.
3. Solving Wordoku puzzles can help to reduce stress, as the process of solving puzzles can tend to be calming and meditative. The focus is on solving the puzzle, rather than thinking about other stressors, which can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. As well, there is a feeling of accomplishment that comes with successfully completing a challenging puzzle.
