Crossword puzzles are a popular pastime for many people, but as a person's abilities decline they can become frustrated and lose interest in doing them. Our unique Sequenced Crossword Puzzles can help the person be successful and regain the joy of completing the puzzle again.
Our puzzles use a smaller 9 x 9 grid with word length limited to 3, 4 or 5 characters, but that's just the beginning. Rather than simply providing a list of "across" and "down" clues, our Sequenced Crossword Puzzle offers several different guides and cueing devices to help the person be successful no matter what their skills and abilities.
The package includes three different ways to present the clues:
a regular across and down list
a list of the clues in a suggested order that gives the person the most guidance
clue cards for individual words that can be used one at a time.
In addition, the package includes a list of the answers sorted by word length and a list of two possible answers for each clue. These can be used to further guide the person to success. The instructions describe in detail how to present the crossword successfully.
See the look of joy as the puzzle lover regains that feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment at completing the puzzle successfully. Package includes one complete, reusable crossword puzzle including grid, clue cards, clue list, word list, clue guide.
Add more variety with our Sequenced Crossword Puzzle Add-On pack - two more complete puzzles that work with the same grid, or try the Sequenced Crossword Value Pak that includes two puzzles for a low price.
