Tonight’s List. Letters Left In Place.
You have been lining up underscores. A Word file will not print the matching key, or a Tough sheet from the same list, without you lining up the blanks again. Word Guess writes the student page and the key. Every letter stays in its place.

Paste This Week’s List. Letters Stay Put.
Paste the list. A two-word holiday line stays two words. Print a topic above a word only when the sheet has to name the week.
Easy Leaves About Half. Tough Leaves About One in Five, or One in Six.
Easy leaves the most letters (about half the line). Tough leaves about one letter in five, or one in six. Spaces and punctuation stay on the line and still count toward how many letters hide. Only letters and digits can hide. Hide the vowels if the leftover consonants should do the work.
Tonight’s List Is Ready For The Book
Paste tonight’s list once. You get a student page and a full-word key for each sheet. Leave Entire List on and the whole list is used. Use a set number of sheets (1 to 1000) when you do not want every line.
Instant Puzzle Books keeps the trim you set and writes the title page, contents, and a footer from each student page to its full-word key. Export that book as an interactive PDF book from Instant Puzzle Books, or open the same collection in Puzzle Book Studio when a page needs an edit.

The Word Guess tutorials show the clicks, including getting started.
Can I use my own word list?
Yes. Type the lines or load a .txt. Phrases are fine. Optional descriptions attach with word:description. Pack a short spelling list on one sheet (up to 15 words), or set one word per image when a long phrase should have the page to itself.
Can I set how hard the page feels?

Do I need the internet to create?
No. You create on your Windows PC. A connection is only if you use the optional AI Word Assistant.
Is this a cryptogram?
Word Guess leaves letters in place and hides some of them. A cryptogram changes the letters. They are separate products.
A page of underscores with no list they recognize is a draft. This week’s words, with letters left in place, is what a buyer stops on.
