Word Scramble Maker

Turn any word list into a word scramble in seconds. Type your spelling or vocabulary words – with a clue for each if you like – and play right on the board, or print a worksheet and its answer key.

Seven ready-made scrambles cover space, animals, weather, the human body, world geography, US geography and math words, each with a clue for every word.

How to use it in class

Pick your words. Choose a theme at the top, or tap “Make your own” and type one word per line. Add a clue after a dash, like “ORBIT - The path around a planet”.
Play on screen. Students type each answer and press Check. “Hint” fills in the first letter, then the next.
Scramble again. Tap “Scramble again” for a new mix of the same words, so every class gets a fresh puzzle.
Print it. Print gives a worksheet with the scrambled letters, the clues and a line to write each answer. “Print answers” prints the key.

Classroom ideas

Spelling practice

Scrambles make students think about every letter of a word, which is great practice for this week’s spelling list.

Clues off

Turn clues off for a harder challenge once students know the words.

Team race

Put the scramble on the board and have teams race to solve each word first.

Frequently asked questions

Is the word scramble maker free?

Yes. It’s free with no sign-up, and you can print as many as you like.

Can I add clues?

Yes. Put a dash after the word and type the clue, like “VOLCANO - A mountain that can erupt”. You can hide clues with the “Show clues” switch.

Will a word ever stay unscrambled?

No. The letters are always mixed into a different order, with few letters left in their original spot.
