Scrambles are generated per word. Very short words may appear unchanged.

How generation works

  • Words are uppercased, non-letters removed, and duplicates dropped.
  • Selection mode chooses the first or a random set of words based on your difficulty focus.
  • Each word is scrambled individually, keeping all original letters.
  • Very short words may remain unchanged when scrambling is impossible.

What you’ll get

The preview shows each worksheet page with scrambled words and space for answers. It’s a quick way to check the layout before printing or sharing.

A quick note

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

How the word scramble generator works

Words are normalized, optionally filtered by difficulty, and then scrambled using a seeded random shuffle. Answer keys list the original words in order for quick grading.

What you can choose

  • Word list (one per line or comma-separated)
  • Word count, selection mode, and difficulty focus
  • Instruction line and title preferences
  • Answer key toggle and optional seed

What you’ll see

  • Printable worksheet preview with numbered scramble list
  • Optional answer key preview
  • PDF layout ready for printing or sharing
  • Consistent A4-friendly formatting

A quick example

Example: 15 words, mixed difficulty, answers on. The preview shows a numbered list of scrambled words with space to write the solutions, plus a second page with the answer key.

Helpful tips

  • Use shorter words for younger learners.
  • Mix word lengths to keep the puzzle interesting.
  • Use a seed if you want repeatable worksheets.

Limits to keep in mind

Very short words may not scramble well. Difficulty is based on word length filters rather than handcrafted logic. Printing results can vary by browser and printer margins.

FAQs

Quick answers

What is a word scramble?

A word scramble rearranges letters from a word or phrase. Your task is to unscramble the letters back into the original words.

How do you scramble the words?

Each word is shuffled letter by letter. The tool retries shuffles to avoid the original spelling when possible.

Can I add my own words?

Yes. Paste one word per line or separate words with commas to build a custom worksheet.

What if a word is too short?

Very short words may stay the same because there are not enough letters to rearrange.

Can I print a PDF?

Yes. Generate your worksheet and download a print-ready PDF designed for A4 printing.

Does it include an answer key?

Toggle the answer key option to add a second page with the original words.

Do you store my word list?

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