CVC Worksheets -Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given 6 pictures and a set of letters at the bottom:
e e j b n p n e d t t e d n e g e p

Our job is to cut out the correct letters from the bottom and paste them under each picture to spell a CVC word (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) that matches the picture.

Picture 1: Scissors → What CVC word?

Scissors are used to cut. But “cut” is CVC — let’s check if we have those letters.
Wait — actually, looking again: the first picture is scissors, but maybe it’s not “cut”. Let’s think of other CVC words for scissors? Hmm… maybe not. Wait — perhaps it’s “clip”? No, that’s CCVC.
Actually — look carefully: the first image is scissors, but in many worksheets like this, they might be thinking of “snip”? Still not CVC.
Wait — maybe I’m overcomplicating. Let’s look at all pictures together.

Actually — let’s list the pictures clearly:

1. Scissors → possibly “cut”? But “cut” uses c,u,t — do we have ‘c’? Looking at letter bank: no ‘c’. So probably not.
Wait — another idea: maybe it’s “shear”? Too long. Not CVC.

Hold on — let’s look at the second picture.

2. Airplane → could be “jet”? J-E-T → yes! We have j, e, t in the letter bank. That fits!

3. Net → N-E-T → same as above? But we can’t use “net” twice? Or can we? The letter bank has multiple e’s and t’s.

Wait — let’s go one by one with clear matching.

---

Let me re-list the pictures and think of likely CVC words:

Picture 1: Scissors → Maybe “snip”? Not CVC. Wait — perhaps it’s “clip”? Still not. Another thought: sometimes these worksheets use “cut” even if ‘c’ isn’t there — but we don’t have ‘c’. Let’s skip and come back.

Picture 2: Airplane → Likely “jet” → J-E-T ✔ Letters available: j, e, t — yes!

Picture 3: Net → N-E-T ✔ Same letters — we have two e’s and two t’s? Let’s count the letter bank:

Letter bank:
Row 1: e e j b n p n e d
Row 2: t t e d n e g e p

So total letters:
e: appears 5 times? Let’s count:
Positions:
1:e, 2:e, 8:e, 10:t, 11:t, 12:e, 14:n, 15:e, 16:g, 17:e, 18:p — wait better to list all:

Full list:
e, e, j, b, n, p, n, e, d,
t, t, e, d, n, e, g, e, p

Count per letter:

- e: positions 1,2,8,12,15,17 → that’s 6 e’s? Wait let's number:

Index:
1:e
2:e
3:j
4:b
5:n
6:p
7:n
8:e
9:d
10:t
11:t
12:e
13:d
14:n
15:e
16:g
17:e
18:p

So e: indices 1,2,8,12,15,17 → 6 e’s
t: 10,11 → 2 t’s
n: 5,7,14 → 3 n’s
d: 9,13 → 2 d’s
p: 6,18 → 2 p’s
j: 3 → 1
b: 4 → 1
g: 16 → 1

Okay, so plenty of e’s, t’s, n’s, etc.

Back to pictures.

Picture 2: Airplane → “jet” → J-E-T → uses j, e, t → available.

Picture 3: Net → “net” → N-E-T → also uses n, e, t → available.

But both need ‘t’ — we have two t’s → okay.

Now Picture 4: Cave or hole? Looks like a cave entrance. What CVC word? “Den”? D-E-N → yes! We have d, e, n.

Picture 5: Bed → “bed” → B-E-D → we have b, e, d → perfect.

Picture 6: Pen → “pen” → P-E-N → we have p, e, n → yes.

Now what about Picture 1: Scissors?

What CVC word goes with scissors? We haven’t used all letters yet.

Used so far:

Jet: j,e,t
Net: n,e,t
Den: d,e,n
Bed: b,e,d
Pen: p,e,n

That’s 5 words. Missing Picture 1.

Letters used:

From jet: j, e, t
From net: n, e, t → now t is used up (we had only 2 t’s)
From den: d, e, n
From bed: b, e, d → d is used twice? We had two d’s → ok
From pen: p, e, n → p used once, we have two p’s → ok

Total e’s used:
jet:1, net:1, den:1, bed:1, pen:1 → 5 e’s → we have 6 e’s → one left.

n’s: net:1, den:1, pen:1 → 3 n’s → we have 3 → all used.

t’s: jet:1, net:1 → 2 → all used.

d’s: den:1, bed:1 → 2 → all used.

p’s: pen:1 → one left.

b: bed:1 → used.

j: jet:1 → used.

g: not used yet.

Leftover letters:
We started with 18 letters.

Used:
jet:3, net:3, den:3, bed:3, pen:3 → 15 letters used.

Left: 3 letters.

Which ones? From original list, remove used:

Original:
e,e,j,b,n,p,n,e,d, t,t,e,d,n,e,g,e,p

Remove for jet: j,e,t → remove one j, one e, one t
Remaining: e,b,n,p,n,e,d, t,e,d,n,e,g,e,p

Remove for net: n,e,t → remove one n, one e, one t
Remaining: e,b,p,n,e,d, e,d,n,e,g,e,p

Remove for den: d,e,n → remove d,e,n
Remaining: e,b,p,e,d, e,g,e,p

Remove for bed: b,e,d → remove b,e,d
Remaining: e,p,e, e,g,e,p

Remove for pen: p,e,n → but n is already gone? Wait — after removing den, we had: e,b,p,e,d, e,g,e,p — then removed bed: b,e,d → left: e,p,e, e,g,e,p

Now remove pen: p,e,n — but no n left! Problem.

Ah — mistake. When we did “den”, we used an n. Then “pen” needs another n — but we only have 3 n’s total.

List of n’s: positions 5,7,14 → three n’s.

Used in:
net: one n
den: one n
pen: one n → that’s 3 → okay.

But when I removed sequentially, I may have miscounted.

Better to assign words first, then verify letters.

Assign:

Pic2: jet → j,e,t
Pic3: net → n,e,t
Pic4: den → d,e,n
Pic5: bed → b,e,d
Pic6: pen → p,e,n

Now Pic1: scissors — what’s left?

Letters used:

j:1
e: jet(1)+net(1)+den(1)+bed(1)+pen(1) = 5 e’s
t: jet(1)+net(1)=2
n: net(1)+den(1)+pen(1)=3
d: den(1)+bed(1)=2
b: bed(1)=1
p: pen(1)=1

Total used: 3*5=15 letters.

Leftover letters from original 18:

Original: e,e,j,b,n,p,n,e,d, t,t,e,d,n,e,g,e,p

After removing:

Remove j → gone
Remove b → gone
Remove p (one) → one p left
Remove n (three) → all gone
Remove d (two) → all gone
Remove t (two) → all gone
Remove e (five) → one e left (since 6 total)
And g is still there.

So leftover: e, p, g

We need a CVC word for scissors using e, p, g? Possible word: “peg”? P-E-G → yes! And “peg” is a CVC word.

Is “peg” related to scissors? Not directly — but maybe in context of craft? Or perhaps it’s acceptable since it’s the only combination left.

Alternatively, maybe Picture 1 is not scissors for “cut” but for something else? But “peg” is the only CVC word we can make with remaining letters: p, e, g.

And “peg” is a valid CVC word.

Perhaps the worksheet intends “peg” for the first picture? But why? Unless... wait, maybe I misidentified the first picture.

Looking back: the first picture is scissors, but in some contexts, scissors are used to cut paper, and you might use a peg to hold things? Stretching it.

But logically, with the letters left, “peg” is the only option.

Moreover, “peg” uses p, e, g — which are exactly the leftovers.

So:

Pic1: peg
Pic2: jet
Pic3: net
Pic4: den
Pic5: bed
Pic6: pen

All are CVC words, and all letters are used appropriately.

Verify letter usage:

peg: p,e,g
jet: j,e,t
net: n,e,t
den: d,e,n
bed: b,e,d
pen: p,e,n

Now count each letter:

p: peg(1), pen(1) → 2 → matches (we have two p’s)
e: peg(1), jet(1), net(1), den(1), bed(1), pen(1) → 6 → matches (six e’s)
g: peg(1) → 1 → matches
j: jet(1) → 1 → matches
t: jet(1), net(1) → 2 → matches
n: net(1), den(1), pen(1) → 3 → matches
d: den(1), bed(1) → 2 → matches
b: bed(1) → 1 → matches

Perfect — all letters accounted for.

So the words are:

1. peg
2. jet
3. net
4. den
5. bed
6. pen

Even though “peg” doesn’t obviously match scissors, it must be intended because it’s the only logical fit with the letters. Perhaps in the context of the worksheet, it’s accepted, or maybe the picture is meant to represent something else — but based on letter constraints, this is correct.

Final Answer:

peg
jet
net
den
bed
pen
