UnscrambledWords

Unscrambled words, from any pile of letters

Type the letters you are stuck with. You get every word they spell — the full anagrams first, then everything shorter hiding inside the same tiles, grouped by length and scored.

Up to 20 letters. Use ? for a blank tile that can stand in for any letter.

What you get back

LISTEN
unscrambles into…
Full anagrams:
seven of them — enlist, inlets, silent and tinsel among others, each using all six tiles
Shorter words:
inlet, islet, stein, tines, lens, list, nest, tile, and dozens more
Hidden in the spelling:
list and ten, sitting in reading order inside L-I-S-T-E-N

Complete alphabetical lists — useful when you want to scan for a shape rather than solve one specific scramble.

How the solver reads your letters

A scramble is a multiset of tiles, not a spelling. That is why LISTEN and SILENT produce exactly the same list — the order you type them in changes nothing about which words the tiles can build. What the order does change is the set of words sitting inside the spelling in reading order, which is why each page shows those separately.

Every candidate word is checked letter by letter against your supply: a word qualifies when it never needs more copies of a letter than you actually hold. Add a blank and the rule relaxes by one — the word may fall short on exactly one tile, and the blank covers it.

Results are ordered longest first, because in nearly every word game length beats face value. Within a length they run alphabetically, with the tile score alongside so you can trade a longer word for a higher-scoring one when the board rewards it.

Common questions

What counts as an unscrambled word here?
Any word in the tournament dictionary that can be built from the letters you entered, using each tile at most as many times as you typed it. Words that use every single letter are full anagrams and are listed first; everything shorter follows, grouped by length.
Do I have to use all of my letters?
No. The results include every word your tiles can spell at any length from two letters upward, so a seven-letter rack still shows you its three- and four-letter options. Full anagrams are marked separately if you only want the complete ones.
How do I handle a blank or wildcard tile?
Type a question mark for each blank. A blank stands in for any single letter, and you can use up to two of them. Blank results are shown in full, but they aren't indexed by search engines because the answer set gets enormous.
What do the small numbers next to each word mean?
That's the word's face value using standard tile scores — one point for common letters like A, E and S, up to ten for Q and Z. It's there so you can pick the highest-scoring option at a glance, not just the longest.
Which dictionary is used?
A tournament word list of roughly 190,000 entries, the same family of list used for competitive play in North America. It includes plenty of short, obscure words that are legal in tile games even if they look unfamiliar.
