Restart Puzzle

Change Puzzles
Students can see how many puzzles are in a level and can go back to previous puzzles, they cannot advance forward without solving the puzzle.
Teachers, if logged in on their own accounts, can jump to any puzzle.

Two Pathways at the End of the Journey

Upon completion of the Journey, students will choose between playing Bonus or Challenge content. If students finish both pathways, they automatically restart their grade-level Journey.
