Sudoku

In a classic Sudoku, you fill the grid so that every row, column and box holds each digit exactly once. You need no math at all, only logic, which makes it one of the easiest puzzles to learn and one of the hardest to tire of.

New to Sudoku? Start with an easy level, and move up when the first moves begin to feel obvious. Each variant keeps the same basic idea and adds a rule of its own, so what you learn on a classic grid still helps.

Word puzzles

Word puzzles suit every age, because the level depends mostly on the words and on how much help the page gives. The tools at the top of this section use the words or the message you type, which is handy for a lesson, a party or a family theme.

The other tools choose the content for you, so you can simply pick a level, print the page and start solving.

Mazes

A maze is the simplest puzzle to explain: find the way from the start to the finish. It needs no reading and no numbers, so it works for young children as well as for adults who want a large, detailed path to follow.

The bigger the maze, the longer the route, so choose the size that suits the solver.

Kids worksheets

Create a worksheet for home or for the classroom, one page at a time. Choose the exercise and, when the tool offers it, the age of the child, then print the page.

These pages practice useful skills such as counting, reading, writing and paying attention to detail, so they are a simple way to add a short activity to the day.
