About these word scrambles

Every scramble on this shelf sticks to one theme, so the topic itself becomes a hint. Easy sheets use short, familiar words. Medium and hard sheets reach for longer vocabulary like famous scientists, chess terms and old-fashioned words.

How to solve word scrambles

  1. 1Look for common letter pairs like TH, CH, SH, ING and ER and set them aside first.
  2. 2Say the theme out loud. Thinking of words in the category often makes the answer pop.
  3. 3Write the letters in a circle instead of a line. It breaks the false pattern your eye sees.
  4. 4Place vowels between consonants to test possible syllables.
