What you can type into Anagram Solver
- What counts as an anagram here
- A perfect anagram uses every letter you typed exactly once — LISTEN gives SILENT, ENLIST and TINSEL. Nothing is added and nothing is left over.
- Repeated letters
- Letter counts are respected, not just which letters appear. LETTER has two Ts and two Es, so a candidate must have exactly two of each to be a perfect anagram.
- Spaces and punctuation
- Ignored. A phrase is treated as one bag of letters, and case does not matter.
How the results behave
- Perfect anagrams first
- Words that use all your letters are listed before shorter words that use only some of them.
- Partial matches grouped by length
- Shorter finds are grouped by letter count, longest group first, so the most valuable plays are near the top.
- Single words only
- Results are single dictionary words. Multi-word anagram phrases such as "dormitory → dirty room" are not generated.
Tips
- If a perfect anagram does not exist, scan the longest partial group — that is usually the best scoring play in a tile game.
- Sorting your own letters alphabetically on paper makes it much easier to spot anagrams without a tool.
Common mistakes
- Expecting proper nouns. Names, places and brands are not in the list.
- Assuming every jumble has exactly one answer — many have several, and some have none.
About the anagram solver
Puzzle solvers checking a jumble, cryptic-crossword fans testing an anagram clue, and writers looking for a rearranged name or title.
An anagram rearranges every letter of a word or phrase into something new. Two strings are anagrams when their sorted letters are identical, which is exactly how this solver matches candidates against its dictionary.
Anagrams are useful well beyond puzzles: writers use them for character names, cryptic crossword setters build clues around them, and they are a fast way to check whether a jumble has a single tidy solution.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results come from this site's own list of about 16,750 words drawn from common written English. It is not an official game or tournament dictionary: rare, technical and inflected words can be missing, while some names, place names and abbreviations are included even though most word games would reject them. Always check a result against the rules of the game you are playing.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an anagram solver and an unscrambler?
An anagram solver looks for words that use every letter you entered. An unscrambler also returns shorter words that use only part of your letters.
Can I solve multi-word phrases?
You can enter a phrase and the letters are combined, but results are single dictionary words rather than multi-word anagram phrases.
Why does a word I know not appear?
The dictionary covers common English words. Proper nouns, abbreviations and very rare words are excluded to keep results useful.
