Anagram solver and word unscrambler
Type a handful of letters and this anagram solver lists every word you can make from them: full anagrams that use every letter, or all the shorter words hidden inside. Add up to three blanks for Scrabble tiles you have not decided on, narrow the results with a pattern such as s* or ?i?e, limit the length, and sort by length, alphabet or Scrabble score.
It helps with newspaper jumbles, crossword and cryptic clues, Scrabble and Words With Friends racks, Boggle, Countdown rounds and the occasional stuck Wordle. Each result shows its Scrabble face value, and clicking a word copies it.
The dictionary — about 66,700 base words from Princeton WordNet 3.1 plus regular plurals and verb forms, roughly 125,000 words — is built into the page, so searches run instantly in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
How to use the Anagram Solver

Where the words come from
The base list is every single-word, letters-only entry in Princeton WordNet 3.1 — nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Because WordNet stores base forms only, regular inflections are added by rule: plurals (cats, boxes, cities), third-person and past forms (walks, walked, walking) and short comparatives (bigger, happiest). Irregular forms come from WordNet’s own exception lists (children, mice, ran, stopped, better), and words with an irregular form are not also given a regular one, so you will not see childs or stoped. It is not an official tournament word list: proper nouns, abbreviations and some slang are missing, and a few obscure dictionary words appear that your game may not accept.
Tips for word games
- For Scrabble, use “All words from these letters”, sort by score, and scan the 7-letter group for a bingo.
- In a crossword, type the letters you have plus blanks for the empty squares and put the known positions in the pattern:
?a??le. - Short on ideas for a word search or crossword? Unscramble a theme word to find related short words to hide.
- For Wordle use the dedicated Wordle Helper, which understands green, yellow and grey clues.
Anagram Solver FAQ
Does the anagram solver work offline?
Once the page has loaded, yes — the whole dictionary is inside the page, so there are no network requests when you search.
Why is a word I know missing?
The list is built from WordNet, which omits most proper nouns, abbreviations, very new slang and some regional spellings. Plurals and verb forms are generated by rule, so an unusual inflection may also be absent.
Can I use blanks like in Scrabble?
Yes. Type ? for each blank (up to three). The result list treats a blank as any letter; remember a blank scores 0 in the real game.
What is the difference between the two modes?
“Anagrams — use every letter” returns only words with exactly your letters rearranged. “All words from these letters” returns every word of any length that can be formed from a subset of them.
How do I find words that start or end with certain letters?
Use the pattern box: s* finds words starting with s, *ing words ending in ing, and ?a?e four-letter words with a and e in the second and fourth place.
Is the Scrabble score official?
The letter values are the standard English set. Scores shown are face values without board multipliers or the 50-point bingo bonus.
