Simple Scrambled Word Games

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Alex C. Pan

Here are a few 5-letter scrambled words. Can you guess what they are as fast as you can? Let’s have a contest to see who the champion might be .

OSHUE
IWTER
CPAEL
AIRNY
LIDSE
AREPP
ATEMS
NOUDS
CESOR
RISFT
VELLE
ONPEH

Do you find them challenging? Here are the keys. Check them out.

OSHUE –> HOUSE
IWTER –> WRITE
CPAEL –> PLACE
AIRNY –> RAINY
LIDSE –> SLIDE
AREPP –> PAPER
ATEMS –> TEAMS/ STEAM/ MEATS
NOUDS –> SOUND
CESOR –> SCORE/ CORES
RISFT –> FIRST
VELLE –> LEVEL
ONPEH –> PHONE

This is a fun task for children. Yet, this educational game device may serve to reinforce the learning of new words and concepts. It’s not hard to construct the game. However, if a teacher thinks it’s time-consuming to make one, s/he may delegate the task to students.

It’s a good idea.
