We’ve created two versions of this word scramble puzzle, ideal for elementary and middle school students.

The first version offers helpful hints, with each of the 12 scrambled words listed around the puzzle in different colors, making it easier for younger kids to solve.

For a more challenging activity, the second version doesn’t include clues—just the scrambled words related to Cinco de Mayo, perfect for older kids looking for an extra brain teaser.
