I suggest that you save the word search to your computer (it won't let me copy them for some reason) and then open them in paint (or some other program like that) and mark where the words are (for the fill-in-the-blanks you can just type out the words [seperated in order by a comma] next to the number. ex: 5. first blank answer, second black answer).
Once you've completed all of the ones that you want to do send me your completed word search and/or fill-in-the-blank. You will receive 1,500 gold for each completed puzzle you do.
