Word Scramble Maker: Printable Worksheets

Type your words, one per line, and press Make the worksheet. Each word comes back with its letters mixed up and a line to write the answer on. Tick the boxes to add a word bank or use capital letters. There is a name line at the top, and page two is the answer key.

Free to use, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded.

Spaces inside a word are dropped when the letters are mixed.

How to use it

  1. 1. Type your words

    Add one word per line. Spelling lists, vocabulary and topic words all work well. Between six and ten words fit nicely on one page.

  2. 2. Pick your options

    Leave the word bank ticked to give children a list to choose from, or untick it for a harder worksheet. Tick capital letters if you want the words printed in capitals.

  3. 3. Press Make the worksheet

    Every word has its letters mixed and a line beside it for the answer. Press Scramble again for a new mix of the same words.

  4. 4. Print the sheet and the key

    Press Print. The worksheet with a name line is page one and the answer key is page two, so you can keep the key and hand out the first page.

Ideas for class and home

  • Spelling warm-up

    Give the week's spelling words as a scramble before the test. Putting the letters back in order makes children think about how each word is built.

  • Vocabulary starter

    Scramble the key words of a new topic and let pupils unmix them in pairs at the start of the lesson, with the word bank for support.

  • Homework and early finishers

    A fresh scramble sheet takes seconds to produce, so there is always a quiet, useful task ready for anyone who finishes early.

  • Holiday and party puzzles

    Scramble words about a holiday, a birthday or a trip, and print one for each guest to solve while they wait for the cake.

Questions and answers

Is the word scramble maker free?

Yes. It is completely free, there is no account to create and you can make as many worksheets as you want.

Can a word come out in its original order?

No. The letters are mixed again until the order is different, whenever a different order is possible. A word made of one repeated letter cannot change.

Can I use words that are not English?

Yes. Letters are treated as written, so words in other alphabets can be scrambled too. Capital letters follow the rules of the page language.

Where are my words stored?

Nowhere beyond your screen. The page works on your own device and does not send your list to anyone.
