Puzzle Set 2
    Instructions for playing online puzzles:

    I’ve created a few computer puzzles that your student can play. The web site is: http://puzzles.apte.com.

    The puzzles require shockwave or flash to play – the site will automatically start if you have these programs installed or it will show you how to download to your computer.

    In order for students to play the puzzles I created, you need to supply them with my e-mail address (janet@arcus.org) My e-mail address identifies a unique Puzzle List.

    On the main page, select Make your own puzzles!

    Then select Play "Just for You" Puzzles and enter my e-mail address janet@arcus.org to display a unique Puzzle List.
    Select any of the listed puzzles by double-clicking to begin.

    Instructions for Puzzle Set 2 are also available by download. (PDF: 88 KB or Word: 32 KB)
