Interactive BMX Word Search Learning-Resource Ledger

Version: 1.0
Prepared: July 19, 2026
Live resource: https://sites.google.com/view/lititzbmxinventorylist/learning-resources/word-search
Scope: The published 20 × 20 puzzle, official 17-term list, 16 supplied destination pages, 16 profile page captures, 16 standalone source images, and all supplied profile wording.

Governing decisions

1. Preserve the published puzzle image and official term order exactly.
2. Preserve original page wording separately from normalized archival summaries.
3. Record grid discrepancies rather than silently correcting the puzzle.
4. Do not select an intended NORA or GT occurrence without an official answer key.
5. Preserve CUP as a published known exception.
6. Classify the Miranda page prominently as fictional alternate history.
7. Preserve the working Diamondback URL exactly as supplied, including the diamonback slug.
8. Do not reconstruct cropped, unclear, or missing source-image text.

Critical verification findings

• CUP is listed as official term 10 but is absent from the supplied grid.
• NORA appears twice and GT appears five times. Both are preserved as ambiguous without an official answer key.
• The Miranda entry is intentionally fictional and must not be mined as factual biography.
• The Diamondback page URL currently uses diamonback-word-search; the working source URL is preserved exactly.
• No unique CUP page, page capture, or source image was supplied.

Source and preservation notes

• Primary evidence consists of the supplied master puzzle image, 16 profile-page captures, 16 standalone images, Kyle’s supplied verbatim page text, and the supplied live URLs.
• GitHub preserves the resource as documentation and evidence; the Google Site remains the primary visual and interactive experience.
• Stable archival filenames and SHA-256 hashes are recorded in IMAGE-MANIFEST.csv and SHA256SUMS.txt.

Open verification items

1. Recover an official answer key if one exists, which could identify the intended NORA and GT occurrences.
2. Confirm whether CUP was intentionally listed separately from NORA or was intended only as part of “NORA Cup.”
3. Correct the live diamonback-word-search slug only if Kyle chooses to change the Google Site; do not alter archived v1.0 links silently.
4. Add original publication credits or dates for source images if those records become available.
