About scrambled words

Each row shows the letters of a word in a mixed-up order and a box for each letter. The topic is the clue: animals, food, weather, the body and more.

Words whose letters can spell another English word (like cat and act) are never used, so every answer is the only one. Choose mixed topics by word length, or one topic with words of every length.

Printing

US Letter or A4, portrait: choose your paper size above. Print at 100 percent (actual size). Use "Black and white" for the copier, or "Color" for display pages and mini books.
