Printable vocabulary flashcard maker

Make a paper set from your lesson words. Put words or clues on the front, then download a PDF to print and cut.

1. Add words and clues

One per line: word, clue. You can also paste two spreadsheet columns.

List format and CSV help

You can add a word without a clue and edit it later. If the word has a comma, put the whole word in quotes: "yes, please", A polite reply. Commas in clues are fine. CSV files from Bingo, Crossword, Matching Worksheets, Word Search, and Word Scramble work here. This tool's CSV works in those tools too. Import adds words. If a word already has a different clue, edit that word before you import the CSV.

Your list (0)

The CSV keeps the words and clues so you can edit them later. It does not keep print settings.

Print setup

2. Prepare your cards

How will you print?
More print options

DarkLight

Dark text selected.

Light text can show through thin paper less. Print a test sheet to check it.

Make a new preview after you change a print option. Test one sheet before you print the full set.

The DOCX has fold cards with editable words and clues. Use the PDF for two-sided cards.

Use the cards in class

Show a clue and ask learners to recall the word, or show the word and ask them to explain it. Learners can check the other side after they answer. A blank clue makes one side of a card empty, so add clues before you download the cards.

Your list, PDF, and DOCX are made in this browser. The tool does not send your words to ECQ. Use the CSV to keep a word list that you can change in this tool.

Check the same vocabulary

Reuse your word-and-clue CSV in the vocabulary quiz maker to make multiple-choice or written-answer quizzes with separate answer keys. For spelling tests and writing practice, use the same CSV in our spelling test maker.
