Letter Circuit Puzzle Collection
Letter Circuit Puzzles are a fun but challenging path-finding logic puzzle that requires finding a path through the puzzle that visits each cell exactly once while spelling the target word over and over again.
What is a Letter Circuit Puzzle?
A letter circuit puzzle involves a hexagonal grid filled with letters. The goal of a letter circuit puzzle is to find a single closed loop that travels through every white cell in the grid in such a way that it repeatedly spells a specified word or phrase.
These puzzles were inspired by the “Tour De France” Puzzle by Denis Auroux in the France/Belgium WPC Test 2011 (Part 3).
In this example puzzle, find a single closed loop that repeats “EXAMPLE” throughout the loop.

Puzzle Solutions
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
