How to use them
Easy first, then harder
Each scramble starts with short words and ends with the longest ones, so everyone gets a few right before the tricky ones.
Answer key on page 2
Print page 1 for the class and keep page 2 for yourself, or fold it under for self-checking. Each answer shows its Scrabble points too.
Fair scrambles
No scramble spells another real word or starts with the answer's first letter, and every answer is checked against a tournament word list.
Black and white is fine
Every sheet reads clearly in black and white. Set the printer to "actual size" for Letter paper; A4 works too.
