Choose a set with enough context
A scramble can have more than one sensible answer. Give learners a theme, let them study the list first, or agree which vocabulary set they are rebuilding. The typed checker compares an answer with the corresponding word you supplied; it is not a dictionary of every valid anagram.
Keep the useful parts of a word visible
The generator preserves every letter and keeps spaces, apostrophes and hyphens in their original positions. Try a short familiar list before using longer entries. If all letters in a word are identical, there is no different arrangement; the activity labels that case instead of pretending to scramble it.
Turn a correct answer into another step
Ask the learner to read the rebuilt word, identify a letter pattern, or use it in a sentence. For learners who need more support, try spelling-based matching first. When you want recall without mixed-letter hints, switch to look-cover-write-check spelling practice.
