Word Unscrambler

How the Word Unscrambler Works

Type your letters into the box and hit Unscramble. The tool checks every combination of your letters — all lengths from 3 to 8 — against a dictionary of over 150,000 valid English words. Results are grouped by word length and sorted by Scrabble score so the highest-value plays appear first.

Use the filters to narrow results: Starts with lets you match letters already on the board, Ends with helps you hook onto existing words, and Must contain ensures a specific letter appears in every result.

Unscrambler vs Anagram Solver — What's the Difference?

An anagram solver uses exactly all your letters to form a word of the same length. The unscrambler finds words using any subset of your letters — shorter words included. For example, entering CRANE finds the 5-letter CRANE but also RACE, CARE, ACRE, CAN, CAR, and RAN. For Scrabble players, the unscrambler is almost always the right tool.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

• Include all your rack tiles — even vowels you're unsure about. The unscrambler handles up to 12 letters.
• Use the Starts with filter when a specific letter is already fixed on the board and your word must begin there.
• Sort by score (default) to see your highest-value Scrabble play immediately at the top.
• Filter by length if you need a specific word length — e.g. exactly 5 letters for Wordle.
