Word Scrambler
Paste a list, get scrambles. For the screen — the printable version is the worksheet generator.
How to use it
- 1 Paste your words
One per line, or comma separated.
- 2 Choose how thoroughly to shuffle
Full shuffle, or keep the first and last letters in place.
- 3 Copy the result
Scrambles alone, or paired with their answers.
Two levels of difficulty
A full shuffle moves every letter. Keeping the first and last letters fixed is dramatically easier, because readers identify words largely by their outer letters and overall shape — the interior is reconstructed almost automatically. Use the gentler setting for younger solvers and the full shuffle for anyone who will otherwise solve the list at a glance.
Watch for accidental anagrams
Some words scramble into other real words. If your list contains listen, a solver who answers silent has not made a mistake. Run a list through the anagram solver first if the answers are being marked.
Going the other way
To solve rather than create, use the word unscrambler for every word a set of letters can spell, or the anagram solver when the answer must use all of them.
Common questions

Can a scramble come out as the original word?
What does "keep first and last" do?
