Frequently asked questions

Can the word be cut into syllables?

Not in this puzzle, which cuts the picture so the child can name it. Choose “Syllable puzzles” in “Write the word”: a small square puzzle for each word, cut into one strip per syllable, the syllable written at the foot of its strip. “Words to rebuild” lays the syllables on a board. Syllable puzzles made before 4 October 2026 open there.
