Below are twelve 6-letter words. Each word is split in half to make 3-letter pairs, for example, DOMINO would be shown as DOM and INO. These 3-letter pairs are all listed below. Put the pairs together to find the twelve 6-letter words. None of the letter pairs may be used more than once unless they appear more than once in the box.

Here’s something a little different – a themed puzzle about Walt Disney. So come on all you Disney fans (and all you parents with kids!), put your thinking caps on and give this one a try!

Using the clues given, fill in the grid boxes with the answers. In the grid, each horizontal row is one clue and the clues should be entered from the top down. So the first horizontal row goes with clue 1, the second horizontal row goes with clue 2, etc. When the grid is complete, read the highlighted boxes from top to bottom for the hidden message.

HINTS: The clues all refer to characters in Disney animated movie features. Some of the clues are one word, some are two. Don’t leave spaces between the words when entering a two word answer.
