First you need to print out a puzzle. To do this, you will need the Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have the reader, please click on the link and follow the installation instructions. We offer every puzzle in two paper sizes (letter and A4). Each paper size has two files, one for the front of the page and one for the back. After printing one side of the paper, you will need to place the paper the opposite way into your printer, but make sure that top of the printed side is closer to the printer. Click on the green play button to view the animation for this step. The first puzzle is called 'creations', click on the appropriate links to load the Acrobat files for printing: |
If you are having any difficulties downloading or printing, you should visit the acrobat troubleshooter page. Before proceeding, you should check the orientation of your printout. Look at the front of the puzzle: The top row of letters should be C, I and O from left to right. When you flip the paper over, all the letters should be rightside-up and read O, I and C from left to right. If the orientation matches, you're ready to move on, otherwise, you will need to reprint the puzzle. |
