The Lititz BMX Interactive BMX Word Search connects a published 20 × 20 puzzle to rider, award, manufacturer, and intentionally creative learning pages. This GitHub archive preserves both sides of that experience: the puzzle itself and the historical or interpretive destination attached to each term.

The visual-display layer follows the archival standard established through the BMX History Quiz Series, #RebuildRadicalRick, and #OperationDIRTWERX:


Resource structure

  1. Published master puzzle and verified coordinate map
  2. Visual directory of all 17 official terms
  3. Sixteen complete destination-page archive records
  4. One documented known exception: CUP
  5. Sixteen standalone source images and sixteen full page captures
  6. Structured ledgers, source transcriptions, image manifest, and SHA-256 fixity records

Preservation note

The Google Site remains the primary interactive learning experience. This GitHub archive now provides a durable visual exhibit as well as the transcription, verification, structured-ledger, source-evidence, discrepancy, and fixity layer.

The public profile text, full-page captures, associated source images, puzzle geometry, and documented exceptions remain distinct records so future corrections or research findings can be added without erasing the original published state.
