How to make a word scramble

1. Give the worksheet a title. 2. Type your words, one per line or separated by commas. To add a hint, write it after a colon, like Tiger: A big striped cat. 3. Click Scramble words. Every word comes back with its letters shuffled, and the generator makes sure no word comes out the same as it went in (unless every letter is the same, as in “AA”).

Two-word answers are scrambled word by word, so “Polar bear” might become “LORAP BRAE”. That keeps the answer’s shape visible, which helps younger solvers.

Solving and checking

Type each answer on its line. A word turns green as soon as it’s right, and the count under the list shows how many are solved. Check marks wrong answers in red, and Reveal fills in everything.

Printing worksheets for a class

Print prints the scrambled words with a writing line beside each one, and Print with answers adds the answer key on a second page. Scramble again shuffles the letters differently, so you can hand out two versions and stop neighbors from copying. Save a PDF by choosing “Save as PDF” as the printer.

Word scrambles work well for weekly spelling lists, new vocabulary, and topic review: the solver has to know how the word is spelled, not just recognize it. Hints turn the worksheet into a vocabulary exercise, because the solver has to match each definition to a word.

Share it as a link

Copy share link copies a link to the exact worksheet on screen. The words and hints travel in the part of the link after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server, so nothing is stored on Wordformat.

Frequently asked questions

Is the word scramble generator free?

Yes. Make and print as many worksheets as you like, with no sign-up and no watermark.

How many words can I scramble?

Up to 40 words or short phrases, each 2 to 24 letters long (spaces and punctuation don’t count).

Can I add hints?

Yes. Write a hint after a colon, like “Tiger: A big striped cat”. Hints print under the scrambled word.

Can a word come out unscrambled?

No. The generator keeps shuffling until each word differs from the original. The only exception is a word made of one repeated letter, such as “AA”, which can’t change.

How do I print the answers?

Click Print with answers. The worksheet prints on page one and the answer key on page two.
