Jumble the Sentence FAQ

Practical answers about setup, classroom use and what pupils need to do.

Can I jumble more than one sentence at a time?

Yes. Paste a whole passage and each sentence is shuffled separately, one per line.

Does the punctuation stay in place?

You choose: keep punctuation attached to its word, move sentence punctuation to the end, or strip it entirely.

Is there an easy mode for younger pupils?

Yes. Easy mode rotates the words one place rather than fully shuffling them, so the sentence stays close to the original.
