How to use Word Unscrambler

  1. Type your letters into the Letters (up to 12) box. Case doesn't count, and spaces, numbers, and punctuation are ignored.
  2. Read the results as you type: every word you can spell, grouped from longest to shortest, each with its tile score.
  3. Raise Min length to hide short words. The default is 3.
  4. Put one to three letters in Must contain to keep only words with that exact chunk, like "ea" or "st".
  5. Tick Use all letters to see only true anagrams: words that use every letter you entered.

  • Solving a newspaper jumble by ticking Use all letters so only full rearrangements show

02 · The honest pitch

Why Word Unscrambler?

Every match shows at once, grouped by length, with the tile score next to each word, so you can weigh a long word of 1-point letters against a short one with a J or X. Results rebuild on every keystroke, and repeated letters are counted properly, so a word never uses more copies of a letter than you typed. The dictionary downloads to your browser once and the matching runs there, so the letters you type are never sent anywhere.

Leftover letters are fine unless you tick Use all letters. That's why the sample letters, ALCHEMIST, give you SMILE and CALM but not CALL: there's only one L. With the default settings, ALCHEMIST returns 718 words, including CLEMATIS and CLIMATES.
