How to use the word maze
- Easy (6×6, 3–4 letter words): kindergarten and first graders sounding out short, decodable words.
- Medium (8×8, 4–5 letter words): grades 1–2, everyday nouns and animals.
- Hard (10×10, 6–7 letter words): grades 3–4, longer words and a bigger maze to navigate.
- Tip: every disc looks the same — only the path that spells the word in order is correct, so tracing carefully matters!
