Remove the Spaces FAQ

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

Can sentence breaks survive?

Yes. Choose "Remove spaces, keep sentence breaks" so each jumble stays one sentence long.

Does it work with long passages?

Yes. Paste anything from one sentence to several paragraphs; shorter chunks work best in class.

How do pupils complete it?

Display it on the board and let pupils rewrite with spaces, or print copies for written work.
