Think this word scramble is pretty tricky? No worries, you’ll also get the answer key!
Our word scramble includes some pretty tricky words. That’s why we’ve included a word bank to give kids some clues as well as an answer key so you can check their work. (This is also the kind of activity that’s perfect for student self-checking!)
What is a word scramble?
In a word scramble activity, students must rearrange the mixed-up letters of a word to identify the original word. In our winter-themed version, students can see all of the original words in the word bank and use them as clues.
How to solve a word scramble
To unscramble a word, look at the jumbled letters and try rearranging them to form a familiar word. Start with common prefixes or suffixes, and focus on vowels. If needed, write down the letters and move them around until the correct word emerges. Students can also use the word bank for help. It’s like solving a fun puzzle with letters!
Benefits of word scrambles
