How to unscramble letters
- Type the letters you have, in any order. Capitals and spaces between letters do not matter.
- If a tile is blank or you are missing a letter, add a ? in its place.
- Press Unscramble. Words are grouped by length, longest first, so the best answer for a jumble puzzle is at the top.
- Use the filters when you need a word that fits a gap on a board, such as one that starts with Q or ends in ING.
Reading the results
Bold words are common everyday words. Lighter words are valid but less common, so they may not be accepted by every game. The small number after each word is its points using standard letter-tile values. A letter underlined with dots came from a blank tile and scores zero.
Stuck on a jumble without a solver? Press Shuffle tiles. Seeing the letters in a new order is the oldest trick for spotting a word yourself.
Questions
Which dictionary does this use?
About 110,000 English words from the SCOWL word lists, including American spellings. Proper nouns, abbreviations and words with apostrophes are left out. See About for details.
Why is a word I know missing?
Very rare words, slang and brand names are not in the list. Different word games use different dictionaries, so a word can be valid in one game and not another.
Is this cheating?
It depends on the game and who you play with. Many people use an unscrambler to check answers after they give up, to learn new words, or to solve newspaper jumbles. In a live game against other people, agree on the rules first.
Do my letters get sent anywhere?
No. The word list downloads to your browser once and every search runs on your own device.
