About Anagram Solver
Unscramble letters into words. Find exact anagrams or all sub-words you can make. Useful for word games, crosswords, and puzzles. Free, no sign-up.
How to use
- Type the letters you have into the input — order doesn't matter. Letters are auto-uppercased and any non-letter characters are stripped.
- Set the minimum word length. Default 3 keeps things readable; bump to 5 or 6 if you only want longer words.
- Toggle 'Exact length only' to find true anagrams (using every letter). Off by default, which finds all sub-words too.
- Toggle 'Must use every letter' for the same effect — exact anagrams only. Useful when solving puzzles where the answer must be a single word using all the letters.
- Click any word in the results to copy it to your clipboard — handy for crossword grids or word-game answer entry.
Frequently asked questions
What is an anagram?
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another. SILENT and LISTEN are anagrams. So are EARTH and HEART, NIGHT and THING, EVIL and LIVE. Strict anagrams use every letter exactly once. Loose 'sub-anagrams' use some letters from the source — useful for tile games like Scrabble where you build short words from a rack.
What dictionary does this use?
A built-in list of ~9,500 common English words covering 2 to 14 letters. The list emphasizes everyday vocabulary so kids and ESL learners get useful results. For Scrabble or Words With Friends competition play, this dictionary will miss some rare 'tournament' words like QI, ZA, or AALII — a TWL or SOWPODS list would be needed. For general puzzle solving, crossword help, and word games at home, the built-in list covers the vast majority of valid answers.
Why are no results showing?
Three common reasons: (1) the input has fewer than 2 letters; (2) Min length is set higher than the input — try lowering it; (3) the letter combination genuinely has no valid English words (rare for 4+ letters with at least one vowel). Try shorter Min length or different letters.
Does this solve word jumbles in newspapers?
Yes — newspaper jumbles are simple anagrams. Type the scrambled letters in, enable 'Must use every letter' or 'Exact length only', and the solver lists every valid word. Most jumbles have one canonical answer; if multiple words are returned, look for the one that fits any provided clue.
Can I use this for Scrabble or Words With Friends?
Yes for general help, but be cautious with the 2-letter words and rare letters. The built-in dictionary won't have every Scrabble-legal 2-letter word (qi, xu, za, etc.) since those aren't common English. For the highest-scoring word given your tiles, use a dedicated Scrabble word generator. For everyday play and seeing what's possible from a rack, this works great.
