Difficulty Level

These spring word scrambles are easier than normal word scrambles.

The word jumbles are designed for early elementary students, from kindergarten to grade 4. The words are 1st to 4th grade spelling words.

There are 7 different puzzles ranging from simple 3 letter words to more challenging 9 to 11 letter words. This lets you pick the puzzle matching your child’s skill level.

Since each scrambled word has a matching picture clue, kids don’t have to guess blindly, they just need to rearrange the letters to spell the correct word. This makes the activity more of a fun spelling exercise than a traditional word scramble.

Older children that are ready for a bigger challenge might prefer these spring word scrambles.
