Eight scramble worksheets per pack, each word paired with a short clue so solvers are not left guessing blindly, and every answer at the back. They work as a five-minute warm-up, a party sheet or an ESL vocabulary exercise. For a scramble on your own words, the word scramble maker takes any list and prints a sheet with an answer key.
