Why use puzzles to support learning? Puzzles support brain health by helping to make connections between what kids see on the paper and what they know to be true. Example: they know that certain letter combinations are more common (e.g. -ious, -tion, sch-, -ent) than others, while other letter combinations rarely occur, if at all (e.g. wqic-, qrall, tdout,) Here is a fun and interactive earth space scrambled letters word maze puzzle to activate problem solving strategies while helping to consolidate vocabulary. Suitable for students in grades 4,5,6, home schools. Puzzle supports distance, blended, independent and differentiated learning.

Solve the Puzzle
l. First, rearrange the scrambled letters to discover the words hidden in the grid. Record the correct spelling.
2. Then, locate the circled letter, which is the start of the word maze: |S|. Note that letter paths will travel up, down, right, and left but not diagonally. Letter paths do not cross.
3. Next, compare the surrounding letters with the list of unscrambled words and then trace the word path.
4. At the end of the word path, compare the surrounding letters with the list of remaining words and then trace the next word path. This process requires the brain to compare the words and letter sequences it sees in the word list, with the letters it sees at that point in the grid and make a decision about the next word path to trace.
5. Finally, repeat step 4 until the 18 word paths have created the maze within the grid. The word paths are all joined, from the beginning word to the last letter of the last word.
6. Remember to track progress by crossing out the words as they are located.

This word maze puzzle is suitable for students in grades 4,5,6, homeschooling and as a tutoring resource. Word search answers are included in the file download.
