FAQs
Quick answers
What is a missing letter worksheet?
A missing letter worksheet hides some letters in each word so learners fill in the blanks using context and spelling skills.
Can I use the word bank like the crossword tool?
Yes. Select the word bank source to use the same preset lists used by the crossword generator.
What's the difference between vowels-only and random?
Random hides any letters, while vowels-only or consonants-only focus on specific letter types for targeted practice.
How does difficulty work?
Difficulty adjusts how many letters are removed, with easy hiding fewer letters and hard hiding more.
Can I include a printable word bank?
Yes. Toggle the word bank option to print a boxed list of the original words.
Does it include an answer key?
Yes. Enable the answer key toggle to add a second page with the full words.
Do you store my words?
No. All processing happens in your browser and your words are not uploaded.
