Answer Key (for the boxes):
```
1. st
2. sp
3. sw
4. sn
5. sk
6. st
7. sc
8. sw
```
> Note: The bottom of the page has duplicate blends (two rows of sc, sk, sn, sp, st, sw), which suggests you may need to cut and paste them — so you'll use each blend once, but some blends (like
st,
sw) appear twice.
So,
st and
sw are used
twice, others once.
