Medium word scramble

A medium word scramble uses five and six letter words, a balanced jumble that still reads at a glance. Every word has one sensible answer.

Harder grades use longer words. Each scramble has one sensible answer.

12 words to unscramble. Each one spells a single common word.

Two pages: the scrambled words, and the answers. Every word is one whose letters spell a single common word, checked by the same engine as our KDP studio.

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

  1. 1Scan for common patterns. Look for familiar beginnings and endings (ING, ED, TH, ST) hiding in the jumble, and build out from them.
  2. 2Group the vowels. Pull the vowels out and see how many syllables the word can have; that narrows the shapes it could take.
  3. 3Say it aloud. Trying the letters out loud often lands the word faster than staring at them.
  4. 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.
