How to make the missing letters page

  1. Paste your list. Type or paste up to 10 spelling words, one per line or with commas. A pasted sheet works too: the word column is picked and the tool says which.
  2. Pick line size and paper. Choose 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 inch lines and US Letter or A4.
  3. Press Make worksheet. The missing letters page and its answer key appear on screen. Check them.
  4. Download or print. Press Download PDF, or Print. Print at 100% scale. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions

How many letters are hidden?

On the class list, 1 letter in words of up to 4 letters, 2 in words of 5 to 7, and 3 in longer words. The short list hides 1 letter. The challenge list hides about half.

What about look-alike words such as hat, hot and hit?

The tool picks blanks that only one list word fits. When no choice of blanks can do that, the answer key prints the other words that fit as "or" answers.

Is there a word bank?

Yes on the class and short lists. The challenge list leaves it out.
