Second Grade Spelling worksheet with letter clues to complete missing words.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of letters to use:
t, v, h, s, n, g, e, m, p

And we have 9 words with one blank each. We must fill in the blank using only one letter from the box, and each letter can be used only once.

So we need to match each word with the correct missing letter — and make sure no letter is reused.

---

Let’s look at each word:

1. ju__t → What letter makes “just”? That’s s → just
→ Use s

2. li__e → What letter makes “like”? That’s k? Wait — k is NOT in our letter box!
Hmm… maybe it’s “live”? live → yes! v is in the box.
→ Use v

3. lon__ → “long” → long → g is available
→ Use g

4. m__ss → “mass”? But that’s not common for second grade. “miss”? miss — but i isn’t in the box.
Wait — “mess”? mess → e is in the box. Yes!
→ Use e

5. fa__ily → “family” → family → m is in the box
→ Use m

6. ha__py → “happy” → happy → p is in the box
→ Use p

7. __ome → “home” → home → h is in the box
→ Use h

8. se__en → “seven” → seven — but we already used v for “live”! Uh oh.
Wait — did we make a mistake? Let’s double-check.

Hold on — let’s reassign carefully so we don’t reuse letters.

Let’s list all words again and try to assign uniquely:

Available letters: t, v, h, s, n, g, e, m, p (9 letters)

Words:

- ju__t → just → needs s
- li__e → live → needs v OR like → but no ‘k’ → so must be v
- lon__ → long → needs g
- m__ss → mess → needs e
- fa__ily → family → needs m
- ha__py → happy → needs p
- __ome → home → needs h
- se__en → seven → needs v — but if we used v for “live”, conflict!
- sis__er → sister → needs t

Wait — “se__en” could also be “seen”? But that’s se__en — two blanks? No, it’s se__en — one blank between e and en? Actually, looking back: it says “se__en” — that’s 6 letters total? s-e-_-e-n → that would be “seven” → s-e-v-e-n → so blank is third letter → v

But then “li__e” — if we put v there, we can’t use it again.

Alternative: Is “li__e” supposed to be “line”? l-i-n-e → that uses n! And n is in the box!

Yes! “line” is a common second-grade word. So:

→ line → use n

Then “se__en” → seven → use v

That works better!

Let’s redo with this correction:

1. ju__t → just → s
2. li__e → line → n
3. lon__ → long → g
4. m__ss → mess → e
5. fa__ily → family → m
6. ha__py → happy → p
7. __ome → home → h
8. se__en → seven → v
9. sis__er → sister → t

Now check which letters we used:

Used: s, n, g, e, m, p, h, v, t → that’s all 9 letters! Perfect — no repeats.

Let’s verify each word:

- just ✔
- line ✔
- long ✔
- mess ✔
- family ✔
- happy ✔
- home ✔
- seven ✔
- sister ✔

All are real words, appropriate for second grade, and each letter from the box is used exactly once.

Final Answer:

just
line
long
mess
family
happy
home
seven
sister
