Since quarantine started, I’ve been getting into different logic puzzles and word puzzles. One of the puzzles I like is called Word Snake. It gives you the starting letter/word and a theme, and you have to highlight each word in a winding sort of way. I’m not so great at explaining it, so I found an example here if you’re still confused.

I’ve given it a shot writing one that’s book themed!

The first letter “R” is in red. The first word is ROMANCE. Now see if you can highlight your way around like a snake!!

ROMANCE, FANTASY, THRILLER, MYSTERY, SELFHELP, CONTEMPORARY, CHILDRENS, COMICBOOK, POETRY, HORROR, GRAPHICNOVEL, MEMOIR, BIOGRAPHY, SUSPENSE, SCIFI, CRIME

You can find the answer key here.

What do you think? Would you like to see more book themed logic/word puzzles? What are you doing to keep busy during quarantine?
