Spelling Worksheet Generator
Type this week's spelling words, pick the activities, and get a printable spelling packet with an answer key, ready as a PDF in seconds. Free in your browser, no sign-up.
What is a spelling worksheet generator?
A spelling worksheet generator turns one list of spelling words into practice pages. You pick the activities, and each one gets its own page: putting the words in ABC order, writing each word three times, filling in missing letters, matching word shapes, unscrambling letters, look and cover, or writing sentences. The pages that have answers also get an answer key. Add a title, then download the PDF. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
When do you use a spelling worksheet?
Whenever a week's list needs more than copying the words out. Three moments where a custom packet beats a premade one:
The weekly spelling list
Paste Monday's list and print a packet that uses exactly those words. Students put them in order, fill in letters, and unscramble them, so they see each word several ways before Friday's test, and you do not build a sheet by hand.
Homework and word work centers
Pick two or three activities for a take-home packet, or print one activity per station for a rotation. Each activity is its own page, so you can hand out only the pages you want.
Intervention and extra practice
For a student who needs more repetition, choose Write 3 Times and Look, Cover, Write. For a quick check on what stuck, use Missing Letters and Unscramble. The guided lines give small hands a clear place to start each letter.
Core features of
a spelling worksheet generator
A good spelling worksheet maker takes your list and gets a clean packet out the other end. Here is what this one does, from the first word to the printed pages.
Type or paste your spelling words
Put one word on each line, up to 40. A note under the box counts your words and your activities, and warns you if the sheet will use only the first 40. Repeated words are used once.
- One word per line, up to 40 words
- Repeated words are used once
- Paste a list from a document or email
Pick the activities you want
Seven activities sit in a row of buttons: ABC Order, Write 3×, Missing Letters, Word Shapes, Unscramble, Look & Cover, and Sentences. Switch any on or off, and each one you keep gets its own page.
- Seven activities to choose from
- Switch any on or off
- Each activity gets its own page
Plain lines or guided lines
Choose Plain for a single writing line, or Guided for a top line and a dashed middle line, like handwriting paper. Pick a small, medium, or large text size, and add your own title or keep Spelling Practice.
- Plain or guided writing lines
- Small, medium, or large text
- Automatic or typed title
An answer key for the pages that have answers
ABC Order, Missing Letters, Word Shapes, and Unscramble have answers, so the Answer Key tab fills them in on those pages. Press New Puzzles for a different order and different missing letters from the same words.
- Answers filled in on four activities
- New Puzzles mixes the same words again
- Key always matches the sheet you see
Download the PDF or print it
The Worksheet and Answer Key download buttons give you two PDFs. Print sends the pages to the printer. Choose US Letter or A4, and switch the Name and Date row off if you want.
- Two PDFs: the worksheet and the key
- US Letter or A4 paper
- Name and Date row you can switch off
How to make
a spelling worksheet
Five steps from a blank page to a spelling packet, and typing the words is the longest part.
Type your spelling words
Put one word on each line, up to 40, or paste this week's list from a document. The note under the box shows how many words and activities the packet has.
Pick your activities
Press the activity buttons to switch them on or off. Four are on to start. At least one always stays on, and every activity you keep gets its own page.
Choose lines, size, and a title
Pick Plain or Guided lines and a text size. The title reads "Spelling Practice" until you type your own. Each page also prints its own short instruction for students.
Press New Puzzles if you want another
Press New Puzzles to shuffle the ABC word bank, the missing letters, and the scrambles. Switch to Answer Key to see the answers filled in on those pages.
Download or print
Choose US Letter or A4, then download the Worksheet for the students and the Answer Key for yourself. Or press Print to send the pages to the printer.
That's the whole packet
Type the words once and print as many practice packets as you need. The generator is at the top of this page.

Get Started for FreeMore than a spelling template
A premade spelling sheet uses someone else's words. This one builds a packet from yours, one activity per page, with a key where there are answers. It runs in any browser, including a locked-down school laptop.
Seven activities, one list
ABC Order, Write 3×, Missing Letters, Word Shapes, Unscramble, Look & Cover, and Sentences all come from the same words.
Word Shapes boxes
Each letter gets a box. Tall letters like b, d, and t reach up, and g, j, p, q, and y hang down, so students match the shape.
A word bank that is never in order
On the ABC Order page, the word bank is mixed so it is never already sorted. Students have to do the alphabetizing.
Missing letters, never all
About two in five letters are left out of each word, and at least one letter always stays. Spaces are large enough for a pencil.
Your settings are remembered
Your words and settings stay in this browser, so you can close the tab and pick the same packet up later. Nothing is uploaded.
Free, and no watermark
No account, no sign-up, and no logo across the page. The only mark is a small "Made with EMStudio" line in the footer.
Who is the spelling worksheet generator for?
Anyone who needs spelling practice built around a specific list. If a premade sheet never quite matches this week's words, it is for you.
Classroom teachers
Weekly lists, sight words, and unit vocabulary. Type the words for your class, choose the activities, print a packet for every student, and keep the answer key for yourself.
Tutors and homeschool parents
Make a packet for this week's words and print it at the kitchen table. Choose Guided lines and Write 3 Times for a young writer, or Sentences for an older child.
ESL and language teachers
Build a packet from the new words in a lesson. Look, Cover, Write and Word Shapes help learners notice how a word is put together, and the key lets you check the sheet quickly.
How EMStudio's spelling worksheet generator is different
Many spelling worksheet generators bury the download behind a sign-up, add a logo to the page, or give you only one kind of sheet. This one is built by the team behind a full teacher planner, and it treats a worksheet as part of your lesson.
Free, with nothing held back
The full PDF, the answer key, both paper sizes, and printing, all without an account or a daily limit. The only mark on the page is a small "Made with EMStudio" footer line.
A whole packet, not one sheet
Pick several activities and get a page for each in one PDF. Long lists continue onto extra pages, with the activity heading repeated on each.
Part of a full teacher planner
A worksheet is one small part of a lesson. When you are ready, EMStudio's lesson planner holds the rest: every class's lessons on a weekly calendar, beside your students, grades, and attendance.
