Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Baby Word Scramble?+
Same exact-letter format, different theme. This deck uses pregnancy words such as KICK, TRIMESTER and HEARTBEAT; Baby Word Scramble uses baby items and moments.
Can I play both scrambles together?+
Yes, but a mixed-mechanic lineup usually gives more guests a way in. One word in the free list on the Baby Word Scramble page also appears in this deck, so skip that list if you plan to play this one.
Do I need to print it?+
No. It plays on any screen, or you can read each scramble aloud for a paper-free, pen-and-card version.
How long does the pregnancy word scramble take?+
About 10 minutes for all 15 words. The first eight make a shorter, lighter set.
