Word Fill In Puzzles

A fill in puzzle is a type of word puzzle that is very similar to a crossword puzzle. But instead of trying to find the answer to a clue, the fill in puzzle gives the words to put in the puzzle.

The challenge is figuring out where to put them. All the words need to fit in the puzzle.

The words are sorted by the amount of letters in each word. A 3 letter word can only be put in a spot that will hold 3 letters, and a 12 letter word a 12 letter spot.

Fill in word puzzles can be quite enjoyable to do. I loved doing them when I was a kid.

They are also educational, as they can help kids improve their logic skills, spelling and vocabulary.
