A word scramble is a puzzle that requires you to unscramble the letters to spell out a word. It is usually used as a game or an exercise where each player will take turns and swap letters until they complete the puzzle. Aside from using an unscramble helper, there are many tricks to solve scrambled words. This article will show you how. Continue reading to learn more.
Get a Pen and a Paper
All you need is a pencil and some paper, and you can solve scrambled words. The first step to solving a scrambled word is drawing lines from one letter or number to another. Many people think this should be done in a specific direction, but there are unlimited possibilities for which line goes where because the letters could go either way.
The next thing to do is look at what letters are touching. If there is a line going from one letter to another, then that means they have an “open connection.” You can look at all the letters or numbers in this way and find where you need to start filling it in. The last step is looking for clues within the words themselves.
Separate the Words
Draw lines on the page so that each word is in a separate row. The beginning letter and the last number always end with the last letter. If there are any other clues, they will be in the middle of the word.
After you’ve solved as many of the words as possible, it’s time to start filling in the blanks. You can do this by looking at the number clues or by using a word bank if there are any provided. If there aren’t any clues, then just fill in.
Draw the Letters in Fashion
Turn back around and repeat for each row until all letters have been drawn in this fashion. Put a checkmark next to the word once it’s been solved. This will help you keep track of which words have already been completed.
Arrange the Letters
Put one letter at a time into its proper position by drawing lines connecting them with other letters on their right side or left side, depending on which direction they point. If there are two possible places for it, choose whichever seems more logical to you.
There are many ways to solve scrambled words. One way is by using pencil and paper, separating the letters of each word, and putting them back together one letter at a time until they make sense again. Give these tips a try. Maybe you’ll find another new favorite method for solving scrambled words that will help you impress your friends next time they challenge you on Scrabble or Words with Friends.
