How to solve a word scramble

  • Think about the theme. Every word is about New Year's, so start by listing words you expect, then check whether their letters are there.
  • Use the letter count. The number under each line tells you how long the word is.
  • Look for letter pairs. Common pairs like TH, CH, SH, ST and ER, and endings like ING and ED, are often hiding in the mix.
  • Try the vowels. Spot the vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and try putting a consonant between them. Writing the letters in a circle can help you see new orders.
  • Stuck? Show the word bank. It lists all twelve answers in alphabetical order, which turns the puzzle into a gentle matching game. It's a good way to start a group session.

Printing tips

  • Use Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). The puzzle prints on page 1 and the answer key on page 2.
  • Only want the puzzle? In the print window, choose to print page 1 only.
  • To keep a copy, pick "Save as PDF" as the printer.
  • Want another sheet on the same theme? Tap "Another New Year's scramble" for a new set of words.
  • Free to print and copy for home, classroom and care-home use.
