Tips for Word Scramble Practice
Keep the words to one topic, so students can use what they know to guess the word. For younger children, use short words they can already read, and fewer of them. Word scrambles work well as morning work, a center activity or a review before a spelling test, and early finishers can check their own answers with the key.
Every word is really in there
The letters of each word are shuffled by code, never left in their own order, and the answer key lists every word, so the key always matches the puzzle. The same link makes the same sheet again.
- Up to 20 words per sheet

Word Scramble FAQ
Is this word scramble generator free?
Yes. This free word scramble maker has no sign-up and no limit. Make as many printable word scrambles as you like and print them or save a PDF on Letter or A4, each with its answer key.
Can I make a word scramble with my own words?
Yes. Type or paste up to 20 words, each up to 12 letters, using the letters A to Z. A spelling list, unit vocabulary or holiday words all work, and the worksheet prints them in lowercase.
Does it come with an answer key?
Yes. Turn on Include answer key and the last page lists every unscrambled word, so you can check work quickly or let students check their own.
Can I make a word scramble for kids in kindergarten or 1st grade?
Yes. Use short words they can already read, like cat, sun and frog, and keep the list to six or eight words. Longer words with more letters to mix make the puzzle harder for older students.
Can I add other spelling activities to the sheet?
Yes. Turn on any of the other seven activities, like missing letters or ABC order, and they print on the same sheet. The spelling worksheet generator opens with a mix of them already chosen.
Can I make a word search from the same words?
Yes. Word search is one of the activities here, or paste the same list into the word search generator for a full-page puzzle with its own answer key.
