Each wheel contains the alphabet A - Z in order. Your challenge is to arrange wheels such that at least two 4-letter words appear at the same time. There are 17,576 possible unique positions of the wheels that will show 456,000 4-letter combinations.

The makers of this puzzle report that there are 353 possible word pairs (such as LAWN & PEAR) and 14 possible triple word sets. Good luck finding them! Warning: it's addicting!

This is an historical puzzle dating from 1882 when it was made from paper. The inventor, WH Rieff, called it a Spelling Toy and Puzzle and it was meant to be both educational and entertaining. 

You can use any word that can be found in a standard English language dictionary or Scrabble dictionary. Like Scrabble, types of words which cannot be used are abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes or words that require a hyphen or an apostrophe. Proper names and words that are spelled with a capital letter also cannot be used

Note: This is also an item that may have appeal to educators in developing word, spelling, and language skills.

Made in Hudson, Florida. Thanks to Rob Stegmann from Rob's Puzzle Pages and the Jerry Slocum Museum at Indiana University for the idea for this very interesting puzzle.
