LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Cryptogram puzzles are sentences or paragraphs that are encrypted with a letter substitution. Each
of these puzzles uses a different letter substitution encryption. An example of a letter substitution
encryption may be like this: The word ONCE could be encoded FCQB if O=F, N=C, C=Q, & E=B.
Find the right letter substitutes for each puzzle to solve these cryptograms.

Genie Boggle Rules
A genie will only grant you three wishes, but in Genie Boggle, generate as many words as you can from
the boggle grid. To increase the challenge, set yourself a time limit and/or play with a group of friends.
• Pass out copies of the boggle game pages and a pencil to each player. Pass the page to each
player up-side-down so that nobody has an advantage of seeing the page first. Set the timer to 2
minutes. At the start of the 2 minutes players will turn over their pages and start looking for words.
• Players can write down words they find in the grid that match the following rules:
• The letters in the words must be connected in the same order in the grid.
• The letters can be connected by an edge or a corner.
• The word doesn’t have to appear in a straight line. It can be tangled around.
• Each letter in the word must uniquely appear in the grid. For example, if the word is ERASE, the
letter E must appear twice in the grid. The word can’t just loop back and re-use the same E.
• Words must be at least 4 letters long
• Words cannot be a proper noun, such as a name or place.
Here’s an example:
T E O V T E O V
E S R F L S R F
W N A P W N A P
C A R I C A R I
This is a valid occurrence of the This is NOT a valid occurrence of the word ERASE in the grid
word ERASE in the grid. since there needs to be another E for the end of the word
To determine which words can score, each person reads their list of words. If any players have the same
word, then the word must be crossed off their lists. When the first player is finished with their list, then the
next player reads through their list and players cross off duplicate words. This continues until everyone
had read their list and has a list of unique words they have found. Here is how to score the words:
• Less than 4 letters= 0 pts (invalid • 6 letters = 2 pts
boggle word) • 7 letters = 3 pts
• 4 letters = 1 pt • 8 letters = 5 pts
• 5 letters = 1 pt • 9 letters or more = 11 pts
