Anagram Solver
Type your letters and get every word hiding inside them — ranked by length and Scrabble score, with wildcard support for blank tiles.
What an anagram solver does
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word, using every letter exactly once. LISTEN becomes SILENT; DORMITORY becomes DIRTY ROOM. An anagram solver takes the letters you have and checks each rearrangement against a dictionary, returning every real word those letters can spell — not just the one you were looking for.
That difference matters in word games. In Scrabble you are rarely looking for a single anagram; you are looking for the highest-scoring one that fits the board. In Wordle you are narrowing a pattern. In the Jumble you want today's answer. Same letters, three different jobs — which is why the tools below each solve a slightly different problem.
How the solver finds every word
Behind the search box is a simple idea executed fast. Every word in the dictionary is stored with its letters sorted alphabetically: SILENT is filed as EILNST. When you type letters, the solver sorts yours the same way and compares. If the sorted strings match, the two words are anagrams.
For partial results the solver counts letters instead. Your input LISTEN has one E, one I, one L, one N, one S and one T; any dictionary word whose letter counts never exceed those is a valid play, which is how shorter words like LIES or TINS appear in the results. Wildcards are handled by substitution: each ? is tried as all 26 letters in turn, and the results are merged and de-duplicated.
| Input | What the solver does | Typical output |
|---|---|---|
| LISTEN | Exact anagram match, then subset match for shorter words | SILENT, ENLIST, TINSEL, LISTEN + 30 shorter words |
| C?T | Substitutes A–Z for the blank, keeps C and T fixed | CAT, COT, CUT, CHAT, COST, CREST… |
| AEIOU?? | Tests all 676 blank-pair combinations | Long words such as SEQUOIA once vowels are placed |
Everything runs in your browser — your letters are never sent to a server, and there is no daily search limit.
Anagram solver vs. word finder
People use the two names interchangeably, but they answer different questions, and picking the wrong one wastes time in a game.
| Anagram solver | Word finder / unscrambler | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | A set of letters, order irrelevant | Letters plus constraints — known positions, starting letter, letter count |
| Question answered | "What words can I make from exactly these letters?" | "What words match this pattern?" |
| Best for | Scrabble racks, Jumble rows, anagram puzzles | Wordle, crosswords, hangman |
| Can it use every letter? | Yes — that is the core behaviour | Usually not required |
If your letters all have to be used, you want the anagram solver on this page. If you have a pattern to satisfy — one green square, two absent letters — you want a Wordle Solver instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is AnagramPuzzle free to use?
Yes. The anagram solver and every other tool on AnagramPuzzle is completely free, with no account, no download, and no daily search limit.
How do I enter blank or wildcard tiles?
Type a question mark (?) for each blank tile. The solver treats it as any letter of the alphabet and shows you every word that becomes possible. With two blanks it tests all 676 letter pairs.
How many letters can I enter at once?
Up to 15 letters, which covers the longest word playable on a standard Scrabble board. For longer letter sets use our word unscrambler.
What is the difference between an anagram solver and a word finder?
An anagram solver starts with letters and returns every word those letters can form, ignoring order. A word finder usually takes position clues such as known letters or green squares in Wordle, and returns words matching that pattern.
Is using an anagram solver cheating?
Not in casual play. Most players use one to learn. Tournament Scrabble does not allow outside help during a game. Many players review a finished game with a solver to see the best play they missed, which is one of the fastest ways to improve.
