My Favorite 366 Word Scramble

What is a word scramble?

Word scramble games were created by Martin Naydel in 1954, and they have been well loved all over the world since! In a word scramble game, there are lines of scrambled up letters that may seem completely random.

The job of the player is to rearrange the letters to make an actual word. For example, if the players are faced with “NLEVITIOES” then they could rearrange the letters to make the word “TELEVISION”.
