NOTICE:

With the beginning of 2025, this separate archive page has been made obsolete. The Wicked Wonderful Wordies puzzle archive has been rolled into the main page of the puzzle. This page will remain for anyone who has it bookmarked (to keep old links from breaking).

Wicked Wonderful Wordies Archive

This page contains the most recent puzzles. More than 500 earlier wordies have been converted to sets of twelve puzzles with answer keys, and are available as PDF files you can download and print to challenge yourself and share with friends.

In honor of the great work done in Games Magazine, my version of a "wordie" will appear on this site. Many will also be placed in other online locations like my Independent Social Media/Fediverse/Mastodon Account. If you enjoy these puzzles, you should also check the "Wuzzles" of Tom Underwood.
