Run a small-group session
- Give everyone the same sheet. Read the required-letter and tile rules together.
- Allow a few quiet minutes, then invite pairs to compare words and explain one meaning.
- Use the answer sheet for discussion. Accept reasoned alternatives in the writing prompts; for wheel answers use the versioned list.
- Invite an optional return to the online game for definitions and hints.
For younger learners or an unfamiliar subject, introduce the relevant glossary first. These starter activities have not been tested against a particular curriculum or age standard.
