How to use the word unscrambler

The tool instantly checks your letters against a dictionary of more than 172,000 English words and shows every valid word they can make, from the longest down to two-letter words, each with its Scrabble point value.

?for each blank (up to two). The tool tries all 26 letters in its place. - Starts with / ends with: narrow results when you need to hook onto a word already on the board.
- Every game covered: works for Scrabble, Words With Friends, Wordscapes, Word Cookies, Jumble, crosswords, and Wordle brainstorming.
Why unscrambling helps you win word games
Whether you play Scrabble at the kitchen table in Sydney or Words With Friends on the train in New York, the hardest part of any word game is seeing the words hiding in a messy rack. Human brains anchor on the first arrangement of letters they see — a phenomenon called fixation. An unscrambler breaks that fixation by exhaustively rearranging the letters for you, which is also a great way to learn new words: most regular players pick up dozens of unusual two- and three-letter words (like qi, za, and xu) simply by seeing them in results.
Tips for higher Scrabble scores
- Learn the two-letter words. There are more than 100 valid two-letter words, and they make parallel plays possible.
- Hunt for hooks. Adding one letter to an existing word (e.g. hosted → ghosted) opens up big scores — use the "starts with"/"ends with" filters to find them.
- Save S and blanks. Only use an S or a blank tile if the play earns at least 10 extra points.
- Watch the premium squares. A modest word on a triple-word square usually beats a long word on plain squares.
Frequently asked questions
How do I unscramble letters into words?
Type your letters into the box (up to 15) and press Unscramble. The tool checks every combination of your letters against a 172,000+ word dictionary and lists every valid word, longest first.
Can I use blank tiles or wildcards?
Yes — type ? for each blank tile, up to two. The unscrambler tries every letter of the alphabet in that position.
Which dictionary does it use?
The public-domain ENABLE list of 172,000+ English words — the same base list used by many popular word games, including Words With Friends. Tournament Scrabble uses slightly different lists (TWL in North America, Collins elsewhere including Australia), so on rare occasions a word valid here may not be valid in a specific tournament.
Is it free? Do you store my searches?
Completely free, no sign-up, unlimited searches. The dictionary is downloaded to your browser and all searching happens on your device — your letters are never sent to a server.
