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.
