Synopsis

DESCRIPTION: These word scramble puzzles consist of pairs of English and Spanish words where the letters have been scrambled. In each pair, the first word is a common English word and the second word is its Spanish equivalent. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the letters to form the matching English and Spanish words. For example, consider the following pair of English-Spanish word scrambles: LOHEL/OHAL. Rearranging the letters LOHEL, we can form the English word HELLO; and unscrambling the letters OHAL, we can form the corresponding Spanish word HOLA.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: You need to have familiarity with vocabulary words from Spanish 1 in order to be able to unscramble the Spanish words. Once you have unscrambled both words in a puzzle, seeing the words that go together - one English, one Spanish - will help to reinforce your Spanish-English vocabulary.

ORGANIZATION: All of the answers in each puzzle are related in some way. For example, they might all be days of the week, or they might be feelings. Knowing that the words are related may help you unscramble any words that you don't see right away.

HINTS/ANSWERS: There are separate sections of hints and answers at the back of the book. The hints section provides just the first letter of each word. This can be useful if you just need a little help. Complete answers are provided in the answers section. You might want to place a folded sheet of paper here so that you can check the current puzzle's answers without spoiling other puzzles.

About this title

From the Author:

WHAT PUZZLERS LIKE
Many customers who enjoyed these word scramble books have shared their thoughts with the authors (Carolyn Kivett and Chris McMullen). Here are some of the things customers like about this series.

Plenty of puzzles. Most of the word scramble books in this series have over 500 word scrambles. That's a lot of puzzle fun to enjoy.

Hints. Each book has not only an answer key, but also a separate section of hints with the first letter of each answer. Many customers appreciate this handy feature. Sometimes, the answer is a word you know, but you're just not thinking of it. The hint often helps you figure it out without completely giving it away.

Themes. Each page is a puzzle with several related words. The final word scramble is the theme of the puzzle. Knowing that the words are related helps to figure out the harder puzzles.

Unique. Several of the word scramble puzzles are unique, such VErBAl ReAcTiONS, where all the words are made from symbols from the periodic table (like GeNiUS and BRaInIAc) and the puzzles look like chemical reactions. You don't need to know any science to solve these puzzles though. It's pure word scramble fun for word puzzle enthusiasts.
