Word Scramble games present you with the letters of a word or words mixed up, like the letter tiles have been tossed in a bag. It’s your job to try to use your language skills to locate the vowels and reprocess the letters into a readable word, usually in a certain amount of time. It requires visualizing the words in your head and having a basic understanding of how spelling rules work in order to properly and efficiently unscramble the mess of letters on your screen. Reading, exposing yourself to new words, and paying attention to spelling rules will all help you to build a mental lexicon for being word-savvy enough to unscramble whatever mix of letters you’re presented with. But even the most prolific reader can have trouble with the logic of a word scramble. It’s great practice for logic, critical thinking, and mental word play.
