PDF downloads directly. You can also print from the browser. Choose A4 or Letter and print at actual size. The PDF contains image-based pages so accents are preserved.

How to use it

Enter words and choose whether to preserve case. Each rearranged word differs from the original. Ask learners to write the original word on the line. If a word has only one distinct letter, change it or remove it. Use the separate answer sheet for checking.

Adapt the activity

For an easier task, use fewer familiar items, a smaller grid and a visible word list. For more challenge, use definitions, add diagonal directions or ask learners to explain each answer. Test one sheet before making copies.
