Word Unscrambler
Enter scrambled letters to find all valid English words you can make.
What Is a Word Unscrambler?
A word unscrambler is a tool that takes a set of scrambled letters and finds all valid English words that can be formed using those letters. Each letter in your input can only be used as many times as it appears -- so if you type "aelpp", the tool will find words like "apple", "appeal" would not work because there is only one "a".
Word unscramblers are invaluable companions for word game players, crossword enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys puzzles. Whether you are stuck on a tough Scrabble rack or trying to crack an anagram, this tool instantly reveals every possible word hiding in your letters.

Tips for Scrabble and Words With Friends
Common Two-Letter Words to Know
Two-letter words are the secret weapon of experienced Scrabble players. Words like "qi", "za", "xi", "xu", "jo", and "ka" can help you play parallel words and score big on tight boards. Memorizing the roughly 100 valid two-letter Scrabble words can dramatically improve your game.
Look for Common Prefixes and Suffixes
When you see letters that could form common word parts like UN-, RE-, -ING, -ED, -ER, -LY, or -TION, try building words around those patterns. This strategy works in conjunction with unscrambling to help you find the best plays.
Using Wildcards in Word Games
In Scrabble, blank tiles can represent any letter. When using this unscrambler, try adding common letters to your input to simulate blank tiles and discover even more word possibilities.
How the Unscrambling Algorithm Works
Our word unscrambler works by comparing your available letters against a dictionary of valid English words. For each word in the dictionary, the algorithm checks whether every letter in that word is available in your input -- accounting for letter frequency. If you have two "p"s in your input, you can make words with up to two "p"s, but not three.
Results are grouped by word length and sorted alphabetically within each group, making it easy to scan for the word you need. The algorithm processes thousands of words in milliseconds, giving you instant results.
