What is a word scramble?

A word scramble is a real word with its letters jumbled; you rearrange them to find the word. Our puzzles use only words whose letters spell a single common word, so each scramble has one sensible answer.

Is this word scramble generator free?

Yes. Pick a difficulty, generate a page and print it with its answers, with no sign-up and no watermark. It is free for classroom, home and personal use.

Does each scramble have one answer?

Yes. Every word is one whose letters form exactly one common word, so a solver is never stuck between two valid answers. The answers are on the second page.

Does it include the answers?

Yes. Every page prints as two pages: the scrambled words, and the same list unscrambled.

3Print the two pages. Press Print / save PDF. You get two pages: the scrambled words, and the answers.

How to solve a word scramble

Each line is a real word with its letters jumbled. Rearrange them to find the word. Every scramble has one sensible answer, printed at the back.

The method

1Scan for common patterns. Look for familiar beginnings and endings (ING, ED, TH, ST) hiding in the jumble, and build out from them.
2Group the vowels. Pull the vowels out and see how many syllables the word can have; that narrows the shapes it could take.
3Say it aloud. Trying the letters out loud often lands the word faster than staring at them.
4Check the answer page. Every word is one whose letters spell a single common word, so there is exactly one answer to find.

The one rule: Use every letter once; the answer is a single common English word.
What the answer page shows: The unscrambled word beside each number.
How the grades differ: Harder grades use longer words.
Good for: Warm-ups, classrooms and anyone who likes a quick win.
