Frequently asked questions

What are the parts of a train?›
A train has a locomotive, or engine, that pulls or pushes it, and a line of cars behind: passenger coaches, or freight cars such as boxcars, tank cars and flatcars. On older freight trains a caboose rode at the end for the crew. Couplers join the cars, and steel wheels roll along the rails.
What age is the train word scramble for?›
It is an easy level with a word bank, so it suits roughly ages 4 to 10 with a helper for the youngest. Words like locomotive and conductor give older kids and adults a little more to chew on.
Is there a train puzzle pack?›
Yes. The $2.99 Trains & Railroads Puzzle Pack adds a crossword, a cryptogram, a word search, a word fill-in and a bigger word scramble, with new words like roundhouse, trestle, coupler and sleeper car.
Is there a word bank?›
Yes — easy puzzles include a word bank with every answer listed. Harder puzzles omit it for an extra challenge.
