Word Unscrambler - Find Words from Scrambled Letters

How to use this tool

1. Enter up to 20 rack tiles; use ? for up to two blank tiles.
2. Choose a minimum and maximum word length from 2 through 15.
3. Sort by length, Scrabble base score, Words With Friends base score, or A–Z; click a result button to use that word as the next rack.

How word unscramblers work

This tool checks which dictionary words can be made from some or all of the letters in your rack. It does not generate every permutation. Instead, it indexes words by their sorted letters and uses per-letter presence bitmaps to narrow the candidate signatures before checking exact counts. That multiset check preserves repeated letters: a candidate that needs two es cannot be made from a rack with only one. For example, a rack of listen can form silent; the result length filters can narrow the list to six-letter words.

Use ? to mark a blank tile. Up to two blanks are allowed, and each can supply one missing letter. A blank can be left unused when the other rack letters already form a word; if it fills a missing letter, that tile scores zero. For example, q? can find qi, while s?are can find stare. More than two question marks are rejected and shown as an input error.

The bundled ENABLE1 list comes from dolph/dictionary. The upstream file has 172,823 entries. The widget loads its versioned word data as a same-origin static asset; your rack stays in the browser and is never sent with that request or used for a server lookup. The list includes 168,551 unique lowercase a–z entries of 2–15 letters, plus qi and za as two compatibility entries absent from that source, for 168,553 words total. ENABLE1 was released into the public domain by its compilers. It is a broad general-purpose word list, not an official or licensed Scrabble, Words With Friends, TWL, NWL, or Collins word list. A result can differ from what a particular game accepts.

Each result shows Scrabble and Words With Friends face-value totals using fixed standard U.S. tile values. For example, stare is 5 points in both games; jazz is 29 in Scrabble and 31 in Words With Friends. A substituted blank contributes zero. These totals exclude premium squares, bingo bonuses, and other board or game bonuses, so they are not a prediction of a complete turn's score. Sort by length to keep results grouped with longer words first, or choose Scrabble, WWF, or A–Z to see one ranked list. The result buttons can be activated by keyboard and reuse the selected word as the next rack.

The list includes short entries such as qi, za, jo, xi, and xu; the first two are the compatibility additions noted above. Their presence here describes this bundled list only and does not establish game or tournament legality. For board placement, word hooks, premium squares, or a game-specific ruling, use the game's own dictionary and scoring rules.
