The mystery word on all three printables is gingerbread.

Seek & Spell Mystery Word Freebie includes 3 printables, each with a set of letters that forms the

word “gingerbread” when unscrambled. Students cut apart the letter tiles and rearrange them to

create words. As they work, they attempt to find the mystery word that uses all letters, and they

record other words they find with 3 or more letters. If your students become frustrated when

trying to find the mystery word, you can give them hints about its meaning, the letter it begins

with, and so on. Different formats are provided to help you differentiate for the needs of your

students. The first two printables are student recording forms with the letters at the bottom of

the page. The third page has three copies of one set of letters, which you can use if you prefer

that your students record the words in a journal or on paper. If you like this freebie, click
