Difficulty controls how many letters are hidden. Short words may have fewer blanks.

How generation works

  • Words are uppercased, duplicates removed, and split on punctuation.
  • Difficulty and removal settings control how many letters are hidden.
  • Vowel/consonant modes only mask the selected letter type when possible.
  • Printable layouts include an optional word bank and answer key page.

What you’ll get

The preview shows each worksheet page with blanks for missing letters. Use it to confirm spacing, readability, and page count before you print or download.

A quick note

Worksheets are generated in your browser and can vary slightly based on settings and word length. Printing results can differ by browser and printer margins.

How it works

Choose your words or a preset list, pick the missing-letter mode, and generate a printable worksheet with an optional word bank and answer key.

What you can choose

  • Custom words or a preset word bank
  • Difficulty, masking mode, and removal count
  • Word bank and answer key toggles
  • Deterministic seed for repeatable worksheets

What you can print

  • Missing-letter worksheet pages
  • Optional boxed word bank for reference
  • Answer key page (optional)
  • PDF layout ready for printing or sharing

Try this quick example

  1. Paste 10–20 short words (3–7 letters) for early learners.
  2. Choose “vowels only” and set difficulty to Easy.
  3. Enable the word bank so students can self-check.
  4. Generate and print at 100% scale.

Tips for better worksheets

  • Keep words similar in length so rows feel balanced.
  • Use vowels-only for phonics practice and random for spelling checks.
  • Include the answer key when students will work independently.

Limits to keep in mind

Very short words leave limited blanks, and long words can wrap on smaller page sizes. If the preview feels crowded, reduce the word count or pick a larger page size.

FAQs

Quick answers

What is a missing letter worksheet?

A missing letter worksheet hides some letters in each word so learners fill in the blanks using context and spelling skills.

Can I use the word bank like the crossword tool?

Yes. Select the word bank source to use the same preset lists used by the crossword generator.

What’s the difference between vowels-only and random?

Random hides any letters, while vowels-only or consonants-only focus on specific letter types for targeted practice.

How does difficulty work?

Difficulty adjusts how many letters are removed, with easy hiding fewer letters and hard hiding more.

Can I include a printable word bank?

Yes. Toggle the word bank option to print a boxed list of the original words.

Does it include an answer key?

Yes. Enable the answer key toggle to add a second page with the full words.

Do you store my words?

No. All processing happens in your browser and your words are not uploaded.
