How to get the most out of it

Longest first is on purpose

In Scrabble and Words with Friends the long word is usually the play. Results start at the top of the board, not the bottom.

Blanks are free letters

Each ? matches any letter. Two blanks explode the possibilities, so expect big lists.

Points are Scrabble points

The small badge on each word is its base Scrabble score, before any board multipliers.

Stuck on a Jumble?

Type the scrambled word exactly. The answer will be in the group matching its length. Or take the gentler route on our Daily Jumble hints page.

About this unscrambler

Unscrambling is a subset problem: a word is valid when every one of its letters can be taken from your rack, duplicates included. RETAINS spells RETINAS, RATINES, and STAINER, but not RETRAINS, because your rack only has one R. This tool checks your letters against a 277,000-word dictionary and shows everything that fits, grouped by length.

It runs entirely in your browser. The dictionary loads once per word length the first time you need it, so your first search takes a beat and every search after that is instant.

Looking for something more specific? Try words starting with a letter, words ending in a letter, or 5-letter words for Wordle.

Common questions

Does it handle blank tiles?

Yes. Type ? for each blank, up to three. A blank matches any letter, exactly like in Scrabble.

Which dictionary does it use?

Our own 277,000-word list, which covers standard tournament words plus common longer vocabulary. Specific games may accept slightly different word sets, so a rare word is always worth double-checking in your game.

Can I unscramble more than one word?

The tool finds single words up to 15 letters. For two-word answers, like most Jumble punchlines, unscramble the total letters and look for pairs that use them all, or check our Jumble page where the full punchline is solved daily.

Is using an unscrambler cheating?

Against a friend, that's between you and your conscience. As a way to learn words you'd never have found, it's the fastest vocabulary builder there is.
