What the unscrambler finds
Enter up to fifteen letters and the tool returns every English word that can be made from some or all of them, grouped by length with the longest first. Words that use every letter you typed are highlighted at the top. Add up to two question marks for blank tiles, and open the filters to require a starting letter, an ending letter or a letter the word must contain.
Unscrambling by hand
If you would rather solve the jumble yourself, start by separating the vowels from the consonants, then look for common letter pairs (TH, CH, ST, QU) and common endings (-ING, -ED, -ER, -LY). Writing the letters in a circle stops your eye from reading them in the order given. The anagram guide covers these techniques with worked examples.
Practise with a daily puzzle
Brisk’s word puzzle of the day is a five-letter scramble with a clue, part of a six-question daily challenge that also covers maths and patterns. It takes about two minutes and needs no signup.
Common questions
How do I use blanks?
Type a question mark for each blank tile, up to two. DAERB? finds every word that uses some of D, A, E, R, B plus one letter of your choosing.
Can I unscramble five-letter words for Wordle?
Yes. Enter the letters you know are in the word, add ? for the ones you do not, and use the filters to fix a starting or ending letter. The five-letter group in the results is the one to read.
Does it work for Scrabble and Words with Friends?
It uses the ENABLE list, which underlies many word games. Official tournament dictionaries differ slightly, so check a disputed word against your game’s own list.
Why are some results capped?
Long racks with blanks can produce thousands of short words. Each length group shows up to sixty, alphabetically, which is enough to spot the useful ones. Use the filters to narrow the search.
