Once you have typed in your sentence or words use the wsGuess button to automatically sort your words into each column.

Note: It is a good idea to check that the words have been sorted correctly.

The wsWordTypes button allows you to add (or remove) columns from the activity.

Using the ‘Add’ button you can create custom columns – however the guess tool will not work for these columns, so you will have to sort each word manually.

Once your words are sorted, they change colour to indicate which column they belong to.  If you need to move a word to another column (or sort words manually) this can be done by clicking and dragging a word to the correct place.
