How it works

  1. Type or paste your word list, one word per line.
  2. Choose upper or lower case, first-letter hints, and whether to print name and date fields.
  3. Download the PDF with the answer key, or copy a share link that restores these settings.

Using these worksheets in teaching

Unscrambling a word forces students to hold its letters in mind and test orderings against the spellings they know, which is closer to real spelling practice than copying. Use the current spelling list so the practice is deliberate rather than random, keep words to about eight letters for younger classes, and turn on first-letter hints while a list is new. Asking students to write each solved word in a sentence extends the task from letter order to meaning.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own spelling list?
Yes. Type or paste up to 30 words, one per line. Spaces and punctuation are removed so each entry becomes a single scramble of letters.
How do I make it easier for younger students?
Turn on first-letter hints: each question shows "(starts with C)" beside the jumbled letters, which narrows the search without giving the word away. Shorter words also help.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. The answer key is added as a clearly labelled page at the end of the same PDF, numbered to match the questions.
Will the same settings always produce the same worksheet?
Every worksheet has a seed. The same words, settings and seed reproduce the identical scrambles and question order; regenerate gives you a fresh set for the next lesson.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4 and US Letter, in portrait orientation, with print-safe margins designed for black-and-white printing.
