Use Synonyms to Unscramble the Word

Our sneaky letter jumbler has been at it again and some of the words in this activity have been jumbled!

In this activity, a synonym is given to help you decode the word.

Remember: A synonym is a word with the same or a very similar meaning.

 

Let’s look at this example:

Synonym	Jumbled word
Look	retsa

 

First, let’s think about words which are synonyms of look, such as:

 

 

gaze  glance   peer    stare

The answer is stare because it contains the same letters as the scrambled word!

Let’s try another:

 

Synonyms	Jumbled word
Dress	wogn

 

Think about other words meaning a dress or types of dresses.

The correct answer is gown - did you get that right?

 

It’s now your turn to use your detective unscrambling skills to rearrange the muddled letters of a word. A synonym has been given for each word to assist you.

 

Pssstt!! Here’s a handy hint to help you reach superstar status:  Make a list of synonyms until you find one which contains the same letters as the jumbled word. You can use a piece of paper to help you try different words out.

 

Now, it's over to you!
