How it works
This Spanish word scramble opens on the color words, from rojo to anaranjado, with the English meaning printed under each as a hint. More class units wait under More options, and the answer key prints on its own page.

Class units
The opening sheet is los colores. Pick another unit under Start from a list: los números, la familia, la comida, los animales or la escuela. Each unit fills one sheet.
Accents and ñ stay on the letters
Words keep their marks. The sheet prints Ó, Á and Ñ among the mixed letters, so MARRÓN, LÁPIZ and PIÑA are spelled with the mark in place. The answer key shows every word in full.
- Color words are in the form a dictionary lists first: rojo, amarillo, morado.
- Tijeras is a plural, like scissors in English.
Questions and answers
Do the Spanish scrambled words come with English meanings?
Yes. The English meaning is printed under each scramble as its hint. For a harder sheet, switch off Hints under the words under More options, below the sheet.
Why is orange anaranjado and not naranja?
Both are used for the color. Here naranja is on the food list as the fruit, so the color list uses anaranjado and no word has two answers.
Does the Spanish word scramble have an answer key?
Yes. The answer key prints on a second page after the sheet. To print the puzzle alone, switch off Print the answer key under More options, below the sheet.
Can pupils play it on screen?
Yes. Open More options and press Play. One scrambled word shows at a time: tap the letter tiles, or tap one and then type. Typing n for ñ, or a for á, still counts.
What level is it for?
The lists are first-year words, so the sheet suits any beginning Spanish class. With the hints on it also works as a first look at a new unit.
