Words with some letters removed. The solver reconstructs the spelling from what remains.
Choose how many letters to hide and where, and the generator builds a spelling worksheet matched to your class level — from first-letter phonics practice to tricky vocabulary gaps. A quick win for homeschool parents, ESL tutors and TPT sellers building spelling resource packs. Missing-letter sheets can also be played in the browser, with answers checked as you type.
Around 30% of letters removed keeps it a spelling-recall exercise. Past about half the learner cannot reconstruct the word and starts guessing — and a wrong spelling written by hand is more durable than a right one read.
It is a good next step once a class handles the standard version, and noticeably harder than removing letters at random.
For new words, yes. Missing letters shows a correct partial spelling; a scramble shows an incorrect complete one.
