How this list was compiled: Our own selection and grouping of 120 English words, with our own hints: six lists of CCVC words (two consonant sounds, a short vowel, a consonant), six lists of CVCC words (a consonant, a short vowel, two consonant sounds), and, to sort against each other, a mixed list of each shape with eight words that have a blend at each end. The letters left out of each word are its blend. Every word was checked by script on 2026-10-01 in two places: the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary, a record of General American pronunciation (https://github.com/cmusphinx/cmudict), where every listed pronunciation must have four sounds (five in List 14) in the order its list names, with a short vowel and every letter of the blend sounded; and the word's own entry at https://en.wiktionary.org/, where the rhymes key or the pronunciation line must show the same vowel. A word for which either source lists a second vowel sound was left out (fast, last, mask, raft, milk and plant among them). A hint that says a word turns into another when a letter is left out names a word of this site's CVC lists. That a consonant blend is a group of consonants with no vowel between them, each still heard, such as bl in black and st in last, was read on 2026-10-01 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonics and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant_cluster. Spellings are American. No published word list or reading programme was copied. Licence: own work

How it works

These CVCC words worksheets open on a sort: fifteen words to write under blend first, as in stop, blend last, as in nest, or a blend at both ends, as in twist. Word list has lists by blend.

Read the full guide

Sort by where the blend sits

The page opens on List 13, CCVC words such as trip and clam. The sort adds List 14, words with a blend at both ends such as drift, and List 15, CVCC words such as band and lift. The child writes five under each heading.

Write the missing blend

Choose Missing letters under What goes on the sheet. Each word prints with its blend left out, __og for frog and te__ for tent, under a box of the list's eight words. Lists 1 to 6 serve as ccvc worksheets, one family of blends each, and Lists 7 to 12 as cvcc worksheets, by ending.

  • The answer key prints as the last page. To leave it off, open More options and untick Add an answer key as the last page.
  • Word shapes prints one box for each letter, and in these words each letter is one sound.
  • The hints under the tool name the slip to watch for: leave the r out of frog and it turns into fog.

Questions and answers

What are CCVC and CVCC words?

C stands for a consonant sound and V for a vowel sound. A CCVC word starts with two consonants: f-r-o-g. A CVCC word ends with two: t-e-n-t. Every word here has a short vowel and four sounds, or five in List 14.

What is a consonant blend?

Two or more consonants side by side with no vowel between them, each one still heard: bl in black, st in last. A digraph such as sh is different: there two letters spell one sound.

Which blends are in the lists?

At the start of a word: bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl, br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr, sc, sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw and tw. At the end: mp, nd, nt, st, lk, lp, lt, lf, ft, pt and sk.

Do the worksheets print with answers?

Five of the seven sheets do: Sort by list, Missing letters, Word shapes, Unscramble and ABC order. The key is the last page of the print. Trace and write and Write a sentence have nothing to mark, so they print no key.
