What is Unscrambling?

  • Unscrambling is a word puzzle where the letters of a word are mixed up (jumbled), and you have to put them back in the correct order.
  • It is like being a "Word Doctor"—you take a broken word and fix it so it makes sense again.
  • This helps you practice Spelling, Beginning Sounds, and Ending Sounds all at once!

How to Unscramble a Word To solve a jumbled word, follow these detective steps:

  1. Count the Letters: See how many letters you have to work with.
  2. Find the Vowels: Look for A, E, I, O, or U. Every word needs a "heart" (vowel).
  3. Try the Beginning Sound: Pick a consonant and see if it sounds right at the start.
  4. Say it Out Loud: Move the letters around in your head until they sound like a word you know.
