Unscramble the sentences by dragging words to the correct place in the sentence.
Important Setup Instructions
The Sentence Scramble game requires that you choose a word list that has sentences in it, not just single words. The game will scramble the words in each given sentence. The image below shows what sentences look like in the word list format.
You can create your own sentences to be played in this game or you can search for word lists with sentences.
To search for word lists with sentences, click on Play in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then type sentence in the search box and choose Word List from the Filter drop down.
You can view the sentences in each word list by clicking on Preview in each result panel. When you find a word list that you like, click on it and then choose the Sentence Scramble game.
When you play the game, each sentence will be scrambled and become a question in the game.
