Am I limited to short words? How long can my words be?
- One of the things that makes this packet MAGICAL is that the font sizes will automatically increase or decrease based on the length of your words.
- There is not a limit on word length, however, I do not recommend using supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as one of your words. That would appear VERY tiny. 😉

Are these activities the same as your other Editable Spelling Activities?
- Yes, many of the activities are similar to my best-selling seasonal and emoji spelling activity packets. However, this set was highly requested and has been given a Thanksgiving twist. 😉
