Word scramble: rebuild the word

Use the plain-English definition, put the mixed-up letters in order and type the word. The examples come from adult daily life, travel, services, work and study.

Play Word scramble

Ten words a round and three lives. The hint reveals the first letter, but a hinted answer earns no points. There is no countdown.

What this game practises

A scramble keeps every letter visible, so it is a bridge between recognizing a word and spelling it from memory. Say the answer, look for familiar groups such as tion or able, and rebuild chunks rather than moving one letter at a time.

A correct scramble proves that you can organize the spelling with a definition in view. It does not prove that you can spell the word from sound; use the spelling quiz for that harder retrieval step.
