4th Grade Worksheets
& Spelling Puzzles

These 4th grade worksheets with fill-in crossword puzzles provide excellent spelling practice for your students. Why? Because students must spell each word correctly in order to complete the puzzle.

Whether your students are working at home or at school, we think you'll agree that these spelling worksheets are a worthwhile learning activity!

4th Grade Worksheets

We've used words primarily from our list of fourth grade spelling words in creating these worksheets.

#1 - Tricky Word Endings Fill-In Puzzle

Printable version of puzzle with word list
Answer key

Here's how these puzzles work:

Students must place each word from this word list into the puzzle. They'll use the number of the letters in each word, along with the letters that are already placed in the puzzle, as clues.

Suggest that your students use pencils. While it looks like some words can go in more than one place in the puzzle, there is only one solution in which every word fits.
