Free Word Unscrambler & Anagram Solver

How does the word unscrambler work?

It sorts your input letters alphabetically to form a lookup key, then finds every dictionary word that shares the same sorted key. For sub-anagrams (shorter words from a subset of your letters), it iterates every subset. The whole operation runs in a Web Worker so the page stays responsive.

Is the unscrambler really free?

Yes — completely free. The dictionary loads once when you focus the input, then every query is local and sub-millisecond. Works offline after the first load.

Does my data leave my browser?

No. The dictionary is downloaded as a static asset and parsed in a Web Worker on your device. Your input letters never leave your browser; we don’t log queries, store letters, or send anything to a server.

What dictionary does the unscrambler use?

Two public-domain lists, merged: the dwyl/english-words list (3–8 letter everyday words) and the full ENABLE list (2–15 letters) — the base dictionary Words With Friends uses. The dictionary toggle switches between “all words” and game-legal ENABLE words only.

Can I use it for Scrabble?

Yes. Set the dictionary to Scrabble/WWF (ENABLE), type your rack letters, and every result is a playable word with its base point value shown for both games. ENABLE closely matches the official tournament lists; a handful of newer short words differ, so tournament players should confirm against their event list.

What do the three dictionary options mean?

All words merges both wordlists we ship — the widest net, useful for jumbles and crosswords. Scrabble / WWF (ENABLE) restricts results to the public-domain ENABLE list, the base dictionary Words With Friends uses; it is close to the official tournament lists but not identical, so confirm rare plays against your game. Common words only filters to a frequency-ranked list of everyday English — the right setting when you want plausible answers rather than obscure valid ones, as in Wordle.

How do I use a blank tile?

Type ? or * in place of the blank — the unscrambler tries every letter in that slot. Results that needed a blank are marked with an asterisk, and their score already reflects that a blank is worth zero points. Two blanks are supported, which matches a real Scrabble set.

Can I use it for crosswords?

Yes. Type the letters you have (including known crossing letters) and filter by length to match the crossword slot. The unscrambler returns every valid word of that length built from your input letters.

What’s the difference between an unscrambler, an anagram solver, and a word finder?

They’re three names for the same tool. An anagram solver typically returns words of the exact letter count. An unscrambler also returns shorter sub-anagrams. A word finder is the consumer-friendly name. PuzzlePage’s unscrambler supports both modes — set the minimum length to the input length for pure-anagram mode, or leave it at 3 for full sub-anagram mode.

Why is it so fast?

The dictionary is built once into a hash map keyed on sorted letters. Every query is then a constant-time lookup against that map. The whole solver runs in a Web Worker so it doesn’t block the page UI.
