How these work

No word lists and no trivia — the chemistry is the clue.

Every entry balances

Each across and down answer is a complete, balanced reaction. Coefficients and formulae share cells where equations cross.

Self-checking

A wrong coefficient breaks the crossing equation, so students catch their own errors before they reach the key.

Print and go

Letter size, pure black and white, no bleed. Photocopy for a class set without asking us.

If you want more

The same puzzles, 120 to a volume, in print.

The free sets are drawn from the same generator as our workbooks. Each volume runs 120 puzzles across six progressive difficulty groups, with the answer key sold as a separate companion.
