## How do I play?

Each clue is a word’s English and pinyin. Find its characters in the square, across, down or on the diagonal, and drag from the first character to the last, or tap the first and then the last. A word you find is marked and said aloud.

## Can I print it?

Yes. Print gives the puzzle and its clues on one page and the answers on the next, in black on white, for A4 or US Letter. Press New puzzle first for a different one.

## Which words are in it?

19 animals of two to four characters, the ones a class teaches first, eight a puzzle. Every other square is a character from the same topic’s words, so a near miss can look like a word.
