Hanukkah Word Scramble

Hanukkah Word ScrambleHanukkah Word Scramble

A Hanukkah word scramble is one of those puzzles that looks easy until you get to a word that completely refuses to unscramble! I actually think that’s part of the fun. You can look at the letters and think, “I know this word!” but somehow putting them back in the right order takes a little more work than you expected.

I made this puzzle with Hanukkah-themed words, so you’ll be untangling letters connected to the holiday, its traditions, and familiar Hanukkah words. Some answers may come to you almost immediately, while others might have you rearranging the letters a few different ways before you get that little “aha!” moment.

Grab a pencil and give it a try. Work on it by yourself, pass it around to family, or see who can unscramble the most words.

And if one word has you completely stumped, peek at the answer key. No judgment here! Sometimes you just need to see the answer before you wonder why you didn’t see it in the first place. I hope you have fun with this one!
