What does a Session provide?
There are 28 sessions with grade level appropriate roots/cells derived from Latin or Greek. From Session 127-138 all answers can be put INSIDE the puzzle boxes.
In each session three roots/cells are used. As a quick pre-test for students/teachers/life-long learners, determine if you know the meaning of the cell/root. Study it before submitting answers which solve the puzzles.

Having trouble? By hitting the submit button twice, you can access the answer.
Each word is used in context. Seven other activities accompany and supplement the study of each group of words. They include:
(1) Fill-in-the-Blanks, (2) Definition Match, (3) Synonym/Antonym Encounter, (4) Crosswords, (5) Word Finds, (6) True or False Sentences, (7) Contextual Stories.
