Unscramble Words | Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have a list of scrambled words on the left, and pictures of tools (and one hand) on the right. Our job is to unscramble each word to find the name of a tool, then match it to the correct picture.

Let’s go one by one:

1. ermham → Let’s rearrange the letters: e-r-m-h-a-m
Try putting “h” at the start? “hammer” — yes! h-a-m-m-e-r → that uses all letters: h, a, m, m, e, r → matches “ermham”.
So, ermham = hammer

2. was → Only 3 letters. Rearrange: w-a-s → could be “saw”? s-a-w → yes! That’s a tool.
So, was = saw

3. logve → l-o-g-v-e → try “glove”? g-l-o-v-e → yes! But wait — glove isn’t really a *tool*, but it’s in the picture list (the yellow glove). The instructions say “name of a tool”, but maybe they’re including safety gear? Let’s hold onto that.
Actually, looking again — “logve” → if we rearrange: v-l-o-g-e? No. What about “glove”? g-l-o-v-e → yes, that fits. And there’s a glove in the picture. Maybe it counts for this worksheet.
So, logve = glove

4. rlild → r-l-i-l-d → try “drill”? d-r-i-l-l → yes! That’s a power tool.
So, rlild = drill

5. srhub → s-r-h-u-b → try “brush”? b-r-u-s-h → yes! Paintbrush is in the picture.
So, srhub = brush

6. inrgsp → i-n-r-g-s-p → try “spring”? s-p-r-i-n-g → yes! There’s a spring in the picture (coiled metal).
So, inrgsp = spring

7. rewcs → r-e-w-c-s → try “screw”? s-c-r-e-w → yes! Screwdriver is in the picture.
Wait — “screw” is 5 letters, but “rewcs” is 5 letters too. But the picture shows a screwdriver, not just a screw. Hmm.
Actually, let’s check: “screw” = s,c,r,e,w → that’s 5 letters. “rewcs” has those same letters. But the tool is called “screwdriver”, which is longer.
Wait — maybe it’s “wrench”? w-r-e-n-c-h → that’s 6 letters. Too long.
Another idea: “screws”? plural? Still doesn’t match the picture well.
Let’s look at the picture again — there’s a red tool that looks like a glue gun or hot glue dispenser? Or maybe a rivet gun?
Wait — perhaps “rewcs” is “screw” and it matches the screw? But the picture next to it is a red tool — maybe it’s a “screw gun”? Not common.
Alternative: what if it’s “wrench”? But “wrench” needs an ‘n’ and ‘h’. We don’t have those.
Let’s try another approach: maybe “rewcs” = “crows”? No.
Wait — what about “screw” as in the fastener? But the instruction says “name of a tool”.
Perhaps I made a mistake earlier. Let’s skip and come back.

8. hcwnre → h-c-w-n-r-e → try “wrench”? w-r-e-n-c-h → yes! That’s 6 letters: w,r,e,n,c,h → matches h,c,w,n,r,e.
So, hcwnre = wrench

Now going back to #7: rewcs → we have left: r,e,w,c,s
What tool starts with these? “Screw” is s,c,r,e,w — that’s exactly the letters. But is “screw” considered a tool? Usually not — it’s a fastener.
But look at the picture next to it — it’s a red handheld tool that looks like a glue gun or maybe a nail gun?
Wait — perhaps it’s “screwdriver”? But that’s 10 letters. Too long.
Another thought: maybe it’s “crow’s”? No.
Perhaps it’s “wires”? No.
Wait — what if it’s “screw” and it’s meant to match the screw in the picture? But the screw is already matched to “inrgsp” = spring? No, “inrgsp” was spring.
Actually, looking at the image description again — the pictures are:

- coiled spring
- red glue gun? or rivet gun?
- wrench
- handsaw
- hammer
- paintbrush
- chisel? or scraper?
- glove

Wait — the red tool might be a “glue gun”, but that doesn’t fit “rewcs”.

Alternative idea: maybe “rewcs” is “screw” and it’s supposed to match the screwdriver? But the screwdriver isn’t pictured — the red tool might be intended as a screwdriver? Unlikely.

Wait — let’s count the pictures: there are 8 pictures and 8 words. Let’s list them clearly:

Pictures from top to bottom:
1. Spring (coiled)
2. Red tool — looks like a hot glue gun or maybe a staple gun?
3. Wrench
4. Handsaw
5. Hammer
6. Paintbrush
7. Chisel or putty knife?
8. Glove

Words:
1. ermham → hammer → matches picture 5
2. was → saw → matches picture 4 (handsaw)
3. logve → glove → matches picture 8
4. rlild → drill → but there’s no drill in the pictures! Oh no! Problem.

Wait — did I misidentify? Picture 2 is red — maybe it’s a drill? Some drills are red. But it looks more like a glue gun.

Picture 7 is a gray tool with a flat blade — could be a chisel or scraper.

But “rlild” = drill — and there’s no drill pictured. Unless picture 2 is a drill? Let me re-examine.

Actually, in many worksheets, the red tool might be intended as a “power drill”. Let’s assume that for now.

Then “rewcs” — what’s left? Letters: r,e,w,c,s

Possible tool: “screw” — but not a tool. “Wrench” is taken. “Brush” is taken. “Hammer” taken. “Saw” taken. “Glove” taken. “Spring” taken. “Drill” taken.

Only one left: the red tool and the chisel/scraper.

What if “rewcs” is “screw” and it matches the chisel? Doesn’t make sense.

Another idea: perhaps “rewcs” is “crows” — no.

Wait — what about “screw” as in “screwdriver”, but abbreviated? Unlikely.

Perhaps I made a mistake with “logve”. Is “glove” really a tool? Maybe not. What else can “logve” be?

l,o,g,v,e — could it be “volve”? No. “Glove” seems the only option.

Perhaps “rewcs” is “wrench”, but “hcwnre” is also wrench? No, “hcwnre” is clearly wrench.

Let’s try to unscramble “rewcs” differently.

r,e,w,c,s — sort the letters: c,e,r,s,w

What tool has these letters? “Screw” is the only common word.

Perhaps it’s “cresw” — no.

Another thought: maybe it’s “screw” and it’s meant to match the screw in the spring picture? But spring is separate.

I think there might be a mistake in my initial assumption.

Let’s list all unscrambled words again:

- ermham → hammer
- was → saw
- logve → glove
- rlild → drill
- srhub → brush
- inrgsp → spring
- rewcs → ?
- hcwnre → wrench

Now, the pictures are:

1. Spring → matches "inrgsp"
2. Red tool → ?
3. Wrench → matches "hcwnre"
4. Saw → matches "was"
5. Hammer → matches "ermham"
6. Brush → matches "srhub"
7. Chisel/scraper → ?
8. Glove → matches "logve"

So missing matches for:
- "rlild" = drill → should match red tool (if it's a drill)
- "rewcs" = ? → should match chisel/scraper

What tool is a chisel? C-h-i-s-e-l — not matching "rewcs".

Scraper? S-c-r-a-p-e-r — too long.

Putty knife? No.

Perhaps "rewcs" is "screw" and it's meant to be matched with the chisel because you use screws with chisels? Weak.

Another idea: perhaps "rewcs" is "wires", but not a tool.

Let’s try to see if "rewcs" can be "crows" — no.

Perhaps it's "screw" and the red tool is a "screw gun" or something.

But let's look at the last one: "hcwnre" is definitely "wrench".

And "rlild" is "drill".

So probably, the red tool is intended to be a drill, and "rewcs" is "screw", but since "screw" isn't a tool, maybe it's a mistake.

Wait — what if "rewcs" is "screw" and it's matched to the screw in the spring? But spring is already matched.

Perhaps the spring is not "inrgsp". Let's double-check "inrgsp".

i,n,r,g,s,p — spring is s,p,r,i,n,g — yes, same letters.

Another possibility: "inrgsp" could be "grinsp" — no.

Or "springs" — but that's 7 letters.

No, "spring" is correct.

Perhaps "rewcs" is "wrench", but "hcwnre" is also wrench? Impossible.

Unless "hcwnre" is not wrench.

h,c,w,n,r,e — wrench is w,r,e,n,c,h — yes, same letters.

So both can't be wrench.

Perhaps "rewcs" is "screw" and it's accepted as a tool for this context.

Maybe the red tool is a "glue gun", and "rewcs" is not for that.

Let's consider that "logve" might not be "glove". What else? l,o,g,v,e — could it be "volve"? No. "Glove" is the only English word.

Perhaps "glove" is not considered, and "logve" is something else.

Another idea: "logve" -> "volve" is not a word. "Govel"? No.

I think we have to accept that "glove" is included, and "rewcs" is "screw", even though it's not typically a tool.

But let's look at the picture for "rewcs" — it's the seventh picture, which is a gray tool with a handle and a flat blade — that's a chisel or a scraper.

What tool is that? Chisel is c,h,i,s,e,l — not matching.

Scraper is s,c,r,a,p,e,r — not matching.

Putty knife — p,u,t,t,y,k,n,i,f,e — no.

Perhaps it's a "file"? f,i,l,e — not matching.

Another thought: perhaps "rewcs" is "screw" and it's meant to be matched with the wrench or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's try to unscramble "rewcs" as "cresw" — no.

Perhaps it's "wrecs" — still no.

I recall that in some contexts, "screw" can refer to a screwdriver, but it's informal.

Maybe the word is "screw" and the picture is of a screw, but in the image, the screw is part of the spring picture? No, the spring is separate.

Looking back at the user's image description, the pictures are listed as:

- coiled spring
- red tool (glue gun?)
- wrench
- handsaw
- hammer
- paintbrush
- chisel/scraper
- glove

And the words are 8, so each must match.

Perhaps "rlild" is not "drill". r,l,i,l,d — could it be "drill" or "lilrd"? No.

Another idea: "rlild" -> "drill" is correct, and the red tool is a drill.

Then "rewcs" must match the chisel/scraper.

What is that tool called? In some contexts, it's a "chisel", but letters don't match.

Perhaps it's a "scraper", but s,c,r,a,p,e,r — we have r,e,w,c,s — no 'a' or 'p'.

Unless it's "screw" and it's a different interpretation.

Let's calculate the letters for "rewcs": positions 1:r, 2:e, 3:w, 4:c, 5:s

Rearrange to s,c,r,e,w — "screw"

Perhaps in this worksheet, "screw" is considered a tool, or it's a mistake.

Maybe "rewcs" is "wrench", but "hcwnre" is also wrench — impossible.

Unless "hcwnre" is not wrench.

h,c,w,n,r,e — let's try other combinations.

"Chewrn"? No.

"Wrench" is the only common tool.

Perhaps "hcwnre" is "wrench", and "rewcs" is "screw", and we match "screw" to the chisel because you use screws with chisels? Not logical.

Another possibility: perhaps "rewcs" is "crows" — no.

Let's search for 5-letter tools with letters r,e,w,c,s.

Upon second thought, "screw" is the only possibility, and perhaps the red tool is a "screwdriver", but it's drawn as red, and "screwdriver" is 10 letters.

I think there might be an error in the worksheet, but for the sake of completing, let's assume:

- "rewcs" = "screw" and it matches the chisel/scraper picture, even though it's not accurate.

But that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps "rewcs" is "wires", but not a tool.

Let's try "rewcs" as "screw" and move on.

For the matching:

- ermham -> hammer -> picture 5
- was -> saw -> picture 4
- logve -> glove -> picture 8
- rlild -> drill -> picture 2 (red tool, assumed to be drill)
- srhub -> brush -> picture 6
- inrgsp -> spring -> picture 1
- rewcs -> screw -> ?
- hcwnre -> wrench -> picture 3

Then the remaining picture is 7: chisel/scraper, and no word left.

Unless "rewcs" is for that.

What if "rewcs" is "chisel"? c,h,i,s,e,l — not matching.

Perhaps it's "scraper", but letters don't match.

Another idea: perhaps "rewcs" is "screw" and it's matched to the spring, but spring is already matched to "inrgsp".

I think I found the issue.

Let's look at "inrgsp" again. i,n,r,g,s,p — could it be "grinsp"? No.

Or "springs" — but that's 7 letters.

Perhaps "inrgsp" is "spring", and "rewcs" is "screw", and the spring picture includes a screw, but unlikely.

Perhaps the red tool is a "glue gun", and "rewcs" is not for that.

Let's consider that "logve" might be "glove", and it's correct, and for "rewcs", it might be "wrench", but "hcwnre" is also wrench.

Unless "hcwnre" is "wrench", and "rewcs" is "screw", and we have to live with it.

Perhaps "rewcs" is "cresw" — no.

Let's try to see if "rewcs" can be "screw" and the picture is of a screw, but in the image, the screw is not单独 pictured; the spring is coiled, which might imply a spring, not a screw.

I recall that in some worksheets, "screw" is listed as a tool for simplicity.

So, for the purpose of this task, I'll go with:

- rewcs = screw

And match it to the chisel/scraper picture, even though it's not accurate, or perhaps the chisel is for wood, and screws are used, but it's weak.

Another possibility: perhaps "rewcs" is "wrecs" and it's "wrench" misspelled, but "hcwnre" is also there.

I think I need to accept that "rewcs" = "screw" and move on.

So, final unscrambling:

1. ermham = hammer
2. was = saw
3. logve = glove
4. rlild = drill
5. srhub = brush
6. inrgsp = spring
7. rewcs = screw
8. hcwnre = wrench

Now for matching to pictures:

- hammer -> picture 5 (hammer)
- saw -> picture 4 (handsaw)
- glove -> picture 8 (glove)
- drill -> picture 2 (red tool, assumed drill)
- brush -> picture 6 (paintbrush)
- spring -> picture 1 (coiled spring)
- screw -> ? picture 7 (chisel/scraper) — not good, but only one left
- wrench -> picture 3 (wrench)

So, screw matches picture 7, even though it's not ideal.

Perhaps the chisel/scraper is meant to be a "screwdriver", but it's drawn as a chisel.

In many clip arts, a screwdriver is shown with a flat head, which might look like a chisel.

So, perhaps "screw" is shorthand for "screwdriver", and it matches the tool that looks like a chisel but is intended to be a screwdriver.

That makes sense.

So, "rewcs" = "screw" meaning screwdriver, and it matches the seventh picture, which is a screwdriver (drawn as a flat-head tool).

Similarly, "rlild" = "drill" matches the red power drill.

So, all good.

Therefore, the matches are:

- ermham -> hammer -> line to hammer picture
- was -> saw -> line to saw picture
- logve -> glove -> line to glove picture
- rlild -> drill -> line to red drill picture
- srhub -> brush -> line to paintbrush picture
- inrgsp -> spring -> line to spring picture
- rewcs -> screw (screwdriver) -> line to screwdriver/chisel picture
- hcwnre -> wrench -> line to wrench picture

Now, to write the final answer, since the task is to unscramble and match, but the user didn't ask for the matching lines, just to solve the problem, which is to unscramble the words.

The instruction says: "Unscramble each word to find the name of a tool, then write it in the space provided."

So, probably, the expected answer is the unscrambled words.

And then draw lines, but since we're text-based, we can list the unscrambled words.

So, for each scrambled word, the correct tool name is:

1. ermham -> hammer
2. was -> saw
3. logve -> glove
4. rlild -> drill
5. srhub -> brush
6. inrgsp -> spring
7. rewcs -> screw
8. hcwnre -> wrench

Even though "glove" and "screw" are not strictly tools, in this context, they are included.

So, the final answer is the list of unscrambled words.

Final Answer:
hammer, saw, glove, drill, brush, spring, screw, wrench
