Turn any quotation into an instant, self-marking puzzle — solve on screen or print as a worksheet. 100% offline. No pupil data collected.
Type in any quote, proverb, verse, or exam-style stimulus — a spelling rule, a subject-specific definition, anything up to 150 characters. Every space and punctuation mark stays fixed; every letter falls out of its square and scrambles below its own column. Pupils reconstruct the original by working out which letter goes where.
Three ways to use it, all in one file:
Solve on screen — tap or drag letters into place (works with mouse, touch, or keyboard), check answers with one click, and get instant right/wrong feedback without giving the game away.
Print-ready worksheets — export a two-page PDF (puzzle + answer key) in A4, sized and laid out automatically so it always fits on one page, however long the quote.
Preview mode — a clean static view for planning or display, no interactivity needed.
Built for real classroom use:
Auto-generates a sensible grid size for any quote, and wraps text at word boundaries by default so words are never awkwardly split across rows (with an option to pack rows tightly if you prefer).
Optional, toggleable instructions text and source attribution (Author/Speaker and Book/Reference/Occasion) — perfect for crediting quotes properly without cluttering simpler puzzles.
Editable title, adjustable cell size and font size, and a seed option so you can regenerate an identical puzzle later or share the exact same version with a colleague.
Works for any subject — literary quotations, historical speeches, scientific definitions, foreign vocabulary, spelling lists, or anything else that’s really just “a string of characters to reconstruct.”
Safe and self-contained:
Runs entirely offline in the browser once opened — no installation, no internet connection, and no pupil data is ever collected, stored, or sent anywhere. Ideal for shared drives, VLEs, or school networks with restricted permissions.
