What Are Word Scrambles ?

Word scrambles are fun literacy games that involve sets of English letters mixed in a completely random order. The goal of each puzzle is to rearrange the letters into a meaningful word using your knowledge of vocabulary, spelling, and problem-solving skills.

For example, fuelatbiu can be rearranged into beautiful.

Anybody can play and enjoy word scramble puzzles. Just Family Fun’s collection includes easy puzzles with Disney themes, and harder puzzles about events like weddings showers. Just print them out for your kids, students, friends, or whole family and have fun together!

How To Do Word Scrambles

You can access our free word scrambles by downloading your favorite puzzle worksheet below and printing it on white, A4 paper. Each of our themed pages contains 20 words to unscramble.

Just Family Fun’s word scramble puzzles vary in difficulty, so it’s helpful to have a strategy for figuring them out. We recommend these tactics:

  1. Assess the scrambled letters
    Scrambled words, especially long ones, can be daunting! Spend some time assessing the letters before beginning to untangle them. Do you notice any double-vowels or uncommon letters like X or Z? These can be a tell-tale hint of the word you’re trying to create.
  2. Say the letters out loud
    It’s often helpful to hear the letters aloud because your brain might recognize familiar sounds and string them together naturally! Make sure you try all the different pronunciations of each letter, like the hard and soft “c”, so you aren’t missing out on anything.
  3. Cross letters out as you go
    As you create your word, cross out any letters you have already used in pencil. This way, you don’t accidentally reuse letters and get even more fumbled!
  4. Write one letter in each box
    Like we said earlier: it’s easy to accidentally reuse letters. In addition to crossing your used letters out, create your words in the provided box to ensure you don’t skip letters either! Write one letter in each box so you know how long your word should be.
  5. Make lists of sounds or words you’ve tried
    Especially for longer words, making a list of all the sounds or groups of letters you’ve tried will help you keep track of your progress. There’s no need to try the same sequence of letters over, and over, and over if you already know it won’t work! Just jot it down to remember what progress you’ve already made.
  6. Pull out the dictionary
    We believe it isn’t actually cheating to pull out the dictionary – it’s just a chance to practice a different skill you’ll also need later in life! If you’re truly stuck on a word and you can’t seem to unscramble it, pick up that dusty, old dictionary from the shelf and sweep through the pages. You never know what you might find, whether it’s the exact word you’re looking for or a bit of inspiration to finally figure it out yourself.
  7. Re-scramble the letters
    The longer you stare at an illegible mixture of letters, the harder it may seem to put them in the correct order. Try re-scrambling the letters yourself by jotting them down in a new order on a blank piece of paper. This technique might help you recognize patterns and sounds with a fresh perspective or even begin building the word!
  8. Make smaller words using some of the letters
    Another tactic is building smaller words using some, but not necessarily all, of the letters in the scramble. This will get your creative juices flowing and help you build off of a root word rather than starting from square one!

Bennifits Of Word Scrambles For Children

Alongside quiet, safe fun, word scramble puzzles offer a host of benefits for children, making them an excellent educational tool that combines entertainment and learning. Engaging with these literacy puzzles can have a positive impact on children of any age! The most adept benefits include…
