Morsel Munk™ Word Stump™ is the cornerstone of our business. The concept presents a twist on word search and crossword puzzles. Don't be fooled by the simplistic look of the puzzles. The challenge is in the twisted clues.
The book contains instructions and details about the concept. Because there's an element of unpredictability, we can't cover all bases in the instructions. See below for additional hints. If you're stumped by a clue, e-mail us and we'll send you hints. Check our Word Stump™ blog category for hints provided to other Stumpers, and feedback sent to us by other Stumpers.

Hints
Some of these hints are from us. Many of them are from your fellow Stumpers.
- If the instructions don't make sense, try solving a few clues. Then, go back to the instructions for more clarification. We're told that this really helps.
- A Stumper, puzzled a bit by the instructions, looked up a couple answers in the back of the book and it all made sense after that.
- Sometimes you have to say the words out loud. You may have the answer and not even know it, until you say it out loud.
- Look up a clue in a dictionary or thesaurus. Many of the clues, especially in the more difficult puzzles, can be cross-referenced in a thesaurus.
- Look up a clue in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a great online resource.
