A guide to your activity
What you can make and how to use it
Turn your own word list into an anagram worksheet or an online word scramble. Add clues to connect spelling practice with meaning, and optionally finish with a hidden phrase made from letters in the solved words. Use short topic lists for lesson starters or independent revision.
How to get started
- Add words and optional clues, or paste a list. Review the scrambled letters and use New arrangement for a different shuffle.
- Optionally enter a final phrase. Its letters must be available in your answers; numbered letters guide students to the solution.
- Solve one word at a time online, or print the worksheet and optional answer key for a paper activity.
Common questions
How does the final-phrase challenge work?
Students solve the scrambled words, then copy the indicated letters into the final phrase. This is optional: leave the final phrase empty for an ordinary word scramble.
Can I save my activity for another lesson?
