Word Unscrambler & Anagram Solver — make words from letters for games, puzzles, and name ideas
Staring at a pile of tiles thinking, “What words can I make with these letters?” This tool is built for exactly that moment. It’s a flexible unscramble words and make-words-from-letters helper that runs entirely in your browser. Enter any rack of letters, pick your mode, and you’ll see results grouped into neat lists of 2-letter words, 3-letter words, 4-letter words, and beyond. Each word appears as a small chip you can copy with a single click.
In Dictionary words mode, the solver behaves like a focused word finder or Scrabble solver. It checks your letters against a merged dictionary and only shows real words, which is ideal when you want valid plays for Scrabble, Words With Friends, Wordle-style games, or a crossword clue. Use ? as a blank tile to stand in for any letter, then tighten things further with filters for length, starting letters, ending letters, or specific letters that must or must not appear.
In All combinations mode, the tool ignores the dictionary and simply rearranges letters to build every unique combination within safe limits. That’s perfect when you’re exploringname anagrams, brainstorming for a project, or just curious what patterns hide in a string like retaes. Turn on Use all letters to see only perfect anagrams that use the whole rack, or turn it off to explore shorter sub-anagrams and more flexible options.
The Predict words by length feature is especially handy for puzzles and board games. Pick a target length—say, 5-letter or 7-letter words—and the solver adds the necessary blanks automatically. It then returns dictionary words of exactly that length and highlights letters beyond your original rack so you can see where blanks are being used. Combine that with wildcards (? for a single letter, * for any run) and you can search for specific word shapes like ?at* or re*ing in one pass.
Everything happens locally: there are no accounts, no uploads, and no tracking. If you like to play with house rules or niche word lists, you can even upload a custom dictionary. It’s merged silently with the built-in list and never sent anywhere else, so your private vocabulary, brand names, or internal terms stay on your device.

- Stack filters: for example, start with “un”, end with “ed”, must include “scr”, and limit to 7- or 8-letter words.
