Combine the letter trios to spell out some words associated with winter. Each trio of letters will be used exactly once.

For example, MIT and TEN can be combined to form MITTEN. What other winter themed words will you be able to find?

Puzzle Source / Inspiration

In 2023, I shared Erich Friedman’s Holiday Triples puzzle here on my blog. After doing so, I received an email from a blog reader sharing a list of words she had come up with for a winter-themed version of the puzzle.

Well, as a true procrastinator, I am only now getting around to finally sharing it with you. Thank you, Hillary, for sharing with us all!

Using this Puzzle in the Classroom

I printed the letter trio pages on blue colored paper and it through my laminator before cutting the pieces apart.

In previous years, I put ceramic disc magnets on the back of each piece to hang on my whiteboard.

This year, I have been printing several copies of the puzzle and putting them in their own individual bags in a magnetic pocket for students to grab and take back to their tables to solve.
