Anagram Solver
Find every word that uses your exact letters — no more, no less.
Drop letters above and we'll find the exact-letter words.
How the anagram solver works
An anagram solver finds every valid word that uses exactly the letters you enter — all of them, each used once. Type 3 to 16 letters above and the solver rearranges them into real words, checking each against the dictionary.
Tips for solving anagrams faster
When you're working an anagram by hand — on a puzzle, a game tile rack, or a daily brain teaser — a few techniques make the answer jump out much sooner. The first is to separate vowels from consonants. Most English words alternate between the two in predictable ways, so laying out your vowels (A, E, I, O, U) apart from the rest shows you roughly how many syllables you're working with and where they can sit.
Next, look for common beginnings and endings hiding in your letters. Familiar prefixes like RE-, UN-, IN-, and DIS- and endings like -ING, -ED, -ER, -EST, -TION, and -LY let you lock several letters in place at once, leaving a much smaller core to rearrange. Pairs that almost always travel together — TH, CH, SH, QU, ST, BR — are worth spotting early too.
Finally, remember the difference between an anagram and an everyday word search: an anagram must use every letter exactly once, so the answer is always the same length as your input. If no full-length word exists for an awkward set of letters, that's normal — not every combination forms one. When that happens, switch to the Word Unscrambler, which also returns shorter sub-words you can still play.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an anagram and an unscramble?
An anagram uses all of your letters exactly once, so the answer is the same length as your input. An unscramble (word finder) also returns shorter words that use only some of the letters. Use the Word Unscrambler if you want sub-words too.
Are the anagram results valid in Scrabble?
Yes. Results are checked against standard tournament word lists, so they are legal plays in Scrabble and Words With Friends.
Can the anagram solver use blank tiles?
The anagram solver works from the exact letters you type. If you need wildcards or blanks, use the Word Unscrambler, which supports ? and *.
How long can my input be?
Between 3 and 16 letters.
What can I use an anagram solver for?
Solving anagram puzzles, inventing word-play names and pen names, finding strong plays in Scrabble or Words With Friends, and brainstorming names that reuse a fixed set of letters.
