How to use them
At home or in an activity room: print the PDF at Actual size (100%) so the letters stay large. Make as many copies as your family, residents or group need.
In a newsletter: each puzzle is drawn at its printed size for a US Letter page with half-inch margins. Place the image, set its width to the size listed, keep the proportions, and put the answer key on an inside page or in the next issue.
Newsletter editors: you are welcome to reprint these puzzles in a free senior center, library, church or community newsletter, as long as the credit line at the foot of the page stays on. Please don't sell them or post the PDF files elsewhere; link to this page instead. Want puzzles sized for your layout every issue? See free puzzles for your newsletter.
