Word Unscrambler
Staring at a jumble of letters trying to find every valid word (for a crossword, Scrabble, Words with Friends, or a word-game app) takes far longer by hand than checking every possible arrangement systematically. This finds every valid English word possible from a set of letters, grouped by length, with a separate anagram mode for finding words using all the letters at once.

Unscrambling vs. anagram-solving, and why they're different problems
A general unscramble search finds every valid word using any subset of your letters (so from "LISTEN," it would also surface shorter words like "TIN" or "LIST"), while anagram mode specifically requires using all the letters at once with none left over. The difference matters for word games with different rules, since Scrabble-style tile play generally allows shorter words from a subset of your tiles, while a strict anagram puzzle requires the full set to be used.
Frequently asked questions
Does it use a standard dictionary, or a Scrabble-specific word list?
It checks against a broad, standard English word list. For tournament Scrabble specifically, a small number of results may differ from official Scrabble dictionaries (like TWL or SOWPODS), which have their own specific inclusion rules.
Can it handle letters with blanks/wildcards, like in Scrabble?
If wildcard support is available, a blank tile can represent any letter. Check the input options for a wildcard character to include blank tiles in your search.
How are results grouped?
By word length, from longest to shortest, since longer words are generally the ones worth the most in tile-based word games and are the hardest to spot by eye.
