Worksheet Overview

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
Climb  ndacse

 

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

clamber     scale       ascend        mount

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

Let’s try another:

Synonyms Jumbled word

Occupation

 racree

 

First, let’s think of some synonyms for occupation and see if they match, such as: 

job      career    profession     work

 

Which of these words has the same letters as our jumbled word?

The correct answer is career!

It’s now your turn to use your detective unscrambling skills to rearrange the muddled letters of a word.
