The goal is to end up with a single square "stack" of 9 thicknesses in which the goal word is spelled out, one letter per layer, as you go from front to back. The puzzles increase in difficulty as you work your way through the booklet. Knotwords.com by Murray HeasmanThe last letter of one answer is the first letter of the next.
