Matching Worksheet & Flashcard Maker
Create printable vocabulary practice in seconds. Generate a matching worksheet — words on one side, shuffled clues on the other — or switch to flashcards with the word and its clue on each card. Choose a theme and a size (8, 12 or 16 pairs), solve on screen or print, with an answers option whenever you need it.
How to use the matching maker
Pick a theme, a worksheet type and a size, and a fresh worksheet appears instantly — every one is different, and no two worksheets on a page repeat the same word list.
- Matching worksheet: words are numbered 1, 2, 3… on the left; the clues are lettered A, B, C… in a shuffled order on the right. Draw lines (or click a word then its clue on screen) to pair them.
- Flashcards: each card shows a word with its clue underneath — print, cut out, and use them for self-testing or group games.
- Sizes: Easy gives 8 pairs, Medium 12 and Hard 16 — useful for differentiating in class.
- Printing: “Print / PDF” prints the blank worksheet — up to 2 per sheet. “Print Answers” prints it with every pair already matched.
The rules of matching
- Every numbered word matches exactly one lettered clue, and every clue matches exactly one word.
- Draw a line from each word to its clue — or, on screen, click a word and then its matching clue.
- There are no unused clues and no unused words: the numbers and letters always line up.
- When every pair is matched, check the answers to confirm you were right.
