A spelling scramble made from your own list

Every word is shuffled locally, and the seed lets you recreate the same version.

Will a word ever stay unchanged?

For words with more than one character, the maker rotates an unchanged shuffle so students see a real scramble.

Can I show a word bank?

Yes. Include the original list in a separate bank or hide it for a harder activity.

Are answers included?

Yes. The original words appear on a separate teacher page.
