Word Wheel Puzzle Highlights

• Find 2 or 3 4 letters words at the same time
• Ages 12+
• Hundreds of different word combinations to find
• Size – 5.25″ x 5.25″ x 1.5″

Arrange the wheels such that at least two 4-letter words appear at the same time. Each wheel contains the alphabet A – Z in order. It is remarkably difficult to find even one pair of words, but there are more to find. It is very addicting There are 17,576 possible unique positions of the wheels that will show 456,000+ 4-letter combinations. Only a few of these wheel positions will yield two words at the same time.

An example: LAWN & PEAR will appear at the same time. This is an historical puzzle dating from 1882 when it was made from paper. It has not been made in any format for generations to our knowledge. We supply 52 answer pairs, but try not to peek! We do not know how many more possible words can be found.

If you find any, please let us know so we can add them to the list! I am especially interested to see if more than 2 words can be found at the same time. I have not yet found that to be true but suspect it may be possible. You can use any word which can be found in a standard English language dictionary.

Like Scrabble, types of words which cannot be used are abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes or words that require a hyphen or an apostrophe. Proper names and words that are spelled with a capital letter also cannot be used Made Spring Hill, Florida.

Thanks to Rob Stegman from Rob’s Puzzle Pages and the Jerry Slocum Museum at Indiana University for the idea for this very interesting puzzle.
